Creating software that works for everyone

Futurum

Software engineering, or software development, is the branch of computer science that involves designing and developing software – the instructions and programs that enable computers to function. The field of software engineering is growing rapidly as computers are becoming integrated into all aspects of our lives.

How can we unravel the complex history of networks?

Futurum

Dr Min Xu, a statistician specialising in network analysis at Rutgers University, has developed a probabilistic model that can determine how a network has grown, which not only has applications in epidemiology, but is also useful in social science, genetics and counter-terrorism efforts. What is a network? “A www.learnpython.org ).

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

But what I want to do here is to discuss what amount to deeper questions about AI in science. Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. What if all we ever want to know about are things that align with computational reducibility?

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

Futurum

Scientific model — a conceptual or mathematical representation of a real-world phenomenon that allows scientists to study the phenomenon in more detail. Joanna believes the third pillar of scientific discovery is computer simulation, a technique which is becoming increasingly popular. These skills help them to transition into RSEs.

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

Stephen Wolfram

And at first I did so in the main scientific paradigm I knew : models based on mathematics and mathematical equations. From mathematics. Mathematical physics. Computation theory. By the late 1970s, though, there were other initiatives emerging, particularly coming from mathematics and mathematical physics.

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

Stephen Wolfram

In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. “Lick” Licklider —who persuaded Ed to join BBN to “teach them about computers”. Nowadays we’d call it the trie (or prefix tree) data structure.
