Mathematical modelling — the ability to translate observations (experimental or otherwise) using mathematical theories and laws of physics to represent important features from a real-world problem. This variable is independent of space and time, and, in many cases, denotes the physical units associated with the dynamical system.

When society holds negative views of ageing, we are all affected, because we are all ageing,” says Dr Sherry Dahlke, a nurse researcher at the University of Alberta. There is also a widespread belief in healthcare that caring for older people is less interesting and physically harder work than caring for younger people. “In

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

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.

A key idea—ultimately supported at a foundational level by our Physics Project —is that we can think of everything that happens as a computational process. In 2019 I was doing another systematic enumeration, now of possible hypergraph rewriting rules that might correspond to the lowest-level structure of our physical universe.

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).

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. The theory of heat will hereafter form one of the most important branches of general physics.

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.
