Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics pave the way to our advancement into the future. Among engineers and architects, women make up a mere 16.5%. Education and outreach to girls starting in primary school have increased, as well as the number of women who receive degrees in STEM-related fields.

When I was younger, I always loved math and science. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences. In high school, I focused on math and science as my main interests were in geometry and biology. Remember, there is always value in your personal background.

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.

We can still ask, though, whether the mathematics—or science—that humans choose to study might manage to live solely in pockets of computational reducibility. But in a sense the ultimate reason that “math is hard” is that we’re constantly seeing evidence of computational irreducibility: we can’t get around actually having to compute things.

His father ’s university engineering studies had been cut short by the Russian Revolution, and he now had a one-man wholesale electronic parts business. And the person he saw there was their “vice president of engineering psychology”—a certain J. He was convinced you could not do [math] by typing it.
