The power of geographic information systems: bringing data to life with maps

Futurum

I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences. This means I get to work with many different people, such as biologists, epidemiologists, farmers and engineers.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. There had been precursors of steam engines even in antiquity, but it was only in 1712 that the first practical steam engine was developed. Lazare Carnot died in 1823.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

It’s worth mentioning, by the way, that while the three-body problem does show sensitive dependence on initial conditions , that’s not the primary issue here; rather, it’s the actual intrinsic complexity of the trajectories.) We already know that discrete computational systems like cellular automata are rife with computational irreducibility.
