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.

STEM Programs: How to Choose the Right Major

STEM Education Guide

For instance, if they’ve barely passed their math course from the onset, STEM programs that major in math or subjects such as physics or mechanical engineering may not be the best move. Let’s look at the main branches: Science in STEM. It includes topics such as chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, and geology.

Deducing how Antarctica will respond to climate change

Futurum

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. In this case, the team studies sediments deposited on the seafloor Sediment core — a long, vertical sample of sediment H istorians look to the past to help understand our present and future.

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

Stephen Wolfram

So, for example, here’s a graphical representation of a simple arithmetic evaluation, with TraceOriginal → True : And here’s the corresponding “pruned” version, with TraceOriginal → Automatic : (And, yes, the structures of these graphs are closely related to things like the causal graphs we construct in our Physics Project.)
