PROFESSOR RAJA GUHATHAKURTA Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics University of California Santa Cruz, USA. . Amanda talks about her astronomy work to a class of school students over Skype. I liked all kinds of science when I was at school – biology, chemistry, physics. I think there are parallels between art and astronomy.

So, for example, astronomy is an area we’ve significantly developed in Version 14 , and supporting astronomy has required adding several new “high-precision” time capabilities, such as the TimeSystem option, as well as new astronomy-oriented calendar systems. Another example concerns date arithmetic. In Version 3.0

we’re connecting to “Descartes-style” analytic geometry, converting geometric descriptions to algebraic formulas. Given three symbolically specified points, GeometricTest can give the algebraic condition for them to be collinear: &#10005. Things get even more complicated if we want to get precise times in astronomy.

Any integral of an algebraic function can in principle be done in terms of our general DifferentialRoot objects. Turning from calculus to algebra, we’ve added the function PolynomialSumOfSquaresList that provides a kind of “certificate of positivity” for a multivariate polynomial. But if you’re doing astronomy they can really matter.
