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?

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

Stephen Wolfram

And there was something else: the computer system I’d built was a language that I’d realized (in a nod to my experience with reductionist physical science) would be the most powerful if it could be based on principles and primitives that were as minimal as possible. Mathematical physics. The Emergence of a New Kind of Science.

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

Stephen Wolfram

(For about three centuries it seemed as if mathematical equations were the ultimate way to describe the natural world—but in the past few decades , and particularly poignantly with our recent Physics Project , it’s become clear that simple programs are in general a more powerful approach.) How does all this relate to technology?
