How can engineering address human rights issues?

Futurum

Engineering combines maths and science to solve real-world problems, so studying maths, physics, chemistry and computing at school will all be useful when applying for an engineering degree at university. Study social science subjects at school to learn about the human side of engineering challenges.

The power of geographic information systems: bringing data to life with maps

Futurum

I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences. At school, I gravitated towards the social sciences. I was an autistic, queer kid in Texas and I didn’t fit in.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

It’s worth mentioning, by the way, that while the three-body problem does show sensitive dependence on initial conditions , that’s not the primary issue here; rather, it’s the actual intrinsic complexity of the trajectories.) We already know that discrete computational systems like cellular automata are rife with computational irreducibility.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. As a practical matter, thermodynamics in its basic equilibrium form nevertheless became very widely used in engineering and in chemistry.

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. Part of the motivation came from watching Joyce struggle with a Harvard course on Chemistry, where a lot of the homework involved units conversions.
