Numbers and networks: how can we use mathematics to assess the resilience of global supply chains? At Brigham Young University in the US, Dr Zach Boyd is using his mathematical skills to determine how best to protect our supply chains. BUILDING MATHEMATICAL MODELS. Published: July 13, 2022.

One might have thought it was already exciting enough for our Physics Project to be showing a path to a fundamental theory of physics and a fundamental description of how our physical universe works. Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models.

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.

Multicomputation is one of the core ideas of the Wolfram Physics Project —and in particular is at the heart of our emerging understanding of quantum mechanics. It’s worth mentioning that the possibility of relating games and puzzles to physics is basically something that wouldn’t make sense without our Physics Project.

Indeed, so confident was he of his programming prowess that he became convinced that he should in effect be able to write a program for the universe—and make all of physics into a programming problem. 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).

the same integral could still be done, but only in terms of elliptic integrals : Mathematical Functions: A Milestone Is Reached. Special functions are in a sense a way of packaging mathematical knowledge : once you know that the solution to your equation is a Lamé function , that immediately tells you lots of mathematical things about it.
