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

Futurum

Pure mathematicians study mathematical concepts in their abstract forms, while applied mathematicians use maths to solve problems in the real world and are, therefore, an essential part of many other disciplines, such as the natural sciences, engineering and finance. WHAT DOES A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MATHEMATICIAN LOOK LIKE?

Imaging the invisible: how can research software and imaging techniques help scientists study the things we can’t see?

Futurum

Scientific simulations — an advanced type of computational model that not only represents a real-world phenomenon, but aims to predict how the phenomenon might change under different conditions or parameters. Software — a set of instructions, scripts or programmes that are used to operate computers and perform specific tasks.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

But in a quirk of history that I now realize had tremendous significance, I had just spent a couple of years creating a big computer system that was ultimately a direct forerunner of our modern Wolfram Language. So for me it was obvious: if I couldn’t figure out things myself with math, I should use a computer. Computation theory.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

And all I’ll be able to do here is give a snapshot of my current thinking—which will inevitably be incomplete—not least because, as I’ll discuss, trying to predict how history in an area like this will unfold is something that runs straight into an issue of basic science: the phenomenon of computational irreducibility.
