Numbers and networks: how can we use mathematics to assess the resilience of global supply chains?

Futurum

For example, as transportation networks play a key role in moving goods and materials from suppliers to customers, Zach hopes to integrate models of global transportation networks into his models of global supply chain networks. There are many branches of maths, including algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Line, Surface and Contour Integration “Find the integral of the function ” is a typical core thing one wants to do in calculus. But particularly in applications of calculus, it’s common to want to ask slightly more elaborate questions, like “What’s the integral of over the region ?”, or “What’s the integral of along the line ?”

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. Gliders are usually transported with their wings removed, with the wings attached in order to fly.

Multicomputation: A Fourth Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

But with the multicomputational paradigm there’s now the remarkable possibility that this feature of physics could be transported to many other fields—and could deliver there what’s in many cases been seen as a “holy grail” of finding “physics-like” laws. I know of a few perhaps-closer approaches to our conception of multiway systems.
