It is an incredibly useful field with a wide range of applications from biological and social sciences to computer animation and finance. The areas it can be used in are vast, including physical and biological sciences, engineering, social sciences and other diverse fields, from computer animation to finance and economics.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.

But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. It’s a bit like chemistry where one explores properties of some particular molecule. It was crucial, for example, that good physics and chemistry had been done on liquid crystals. But at least it would have a home.

Unless we can connect what’s in the formulas with things we know about (whether in number theory or economics) it’ll usually be difficult to conclude much from them. Then we can get formulas like: But what (if anything) do these formulas mean? It’s a bit like with proof steps and so on. So might AI change that?

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. As a practical matter, thermodynamics in its basic equilibrium form nevertheless became very widely used in engineering and in chemistry.

Food insecurity is a longstanding global problem that is tied to political, economic and social inequalities and inequities. The liberal arts consist of the natural sciences, like biology, ecology and neuroscience, formal sciences, like physics and maths, social sciences, and the humanities.

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. Part of the motivation came from watching Joyce struggle with a Harvard course on Chemistry, where a lot of the homework involved units conversions.

Chemistry Atmospheric chemistry – When we invent new chemicals, Dr Tran Nguyen studies how they react in the atmosphere and what this might mean for air pollution, acid rain and climate change. Economic geography – Professor Sarah Hall is studying the effects of Brexit on financial services.
