Modelling mines: how can a new 3D modelling platform make mining more sustainable and be part of the solution to climate change?

Futurum

Loop software makes use of geological maps that have been constructed from field data. These data are collected from surveys of the surface geology and drill holes, which allow geologists to build a picture of the subsurface rock. Geology, maths, physics, chemistry and biology are all sciences that will be leading this research.

Because these processes typically take place over very long timescales, we have to rely on models by expressing these processes as mathematical formulas,” explains Denise. “To Collating all these data will form a strong foundation of evidence, allowing us to learn more about past climates and the future of our own.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

The function Map takes a function f and “maps it” over a list: Comap does the “mathematically co-” version of this, taking a list of functions and “comapping” them onto a single argument: Why is this useful? You need to be able to easily define mathematically complicated boundary conditions. are Comap and ComapApply.
