Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics pave the way to our advancement into the future. Women in computer and mathematics careers only account for 25.2% Among engineers and architects, women make up a mere 16.5%. For instance, in the social sciences, women hold an impressive 64% share of the workforce.

PROFESSOR SHUJUN LI Professor of Cyber Security of School of Computing and Director of the Institute of Cyber Security for Society (iCSS), University of Kent, UK. This can involve technical careers in computing and software but, given the significant human aspect involved in cyber security, also involves social sciences and humanities.

In addition, when one’s dealing with very large numbers of equations (say in robotics or systems engineering), neural nets can typically just “take in all the equations and do something reasonable” whereas traditional methods effectively have to work with the equations one by one. But what about computational irreducibility?

But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. But the more important strand has been one that starts to actually take the computational paradigm on board—with the thrust typically being “We can write a program to reproduce what we’re looking at”. What is that science?

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. His parents were both (Jewish) Russian immigrants (his father was born in St.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.

I was fascinated by the physical processes that underlie information processing, so studied physics and computer science initially. My PhD in computational and neural systems was a formational time. I experienced collaborations between biology, engineering and social sciences with a playful attitude.

My argument is that computer science was originally invented to be taught to everyone, but not for economic advantage. I see the LSA effort and our Teaspoon languages connected to the original goals for computer science. In 1961, the MIT Sloan School held a symposium on “Computers and the World of the Future.”
