Another founder of computer science, Howard Aiken wrote in 1956: That a computer could be used to simulate natural phenomena was, and still is, far from obvious. And he was also the first to try them on a computer. Alan Turing was the first to write the partial differential equations modelling pattern formation in biology. The computer is just a reliable "bean counter".Īll the same, Alan Turing, who is also the founder of artificial intelligence, planned in 1956 to simulate all natural phenomena with computers. The computer obediently writes sequences of bits. The computer obediently reads sequences of bits. As you know, the computer obeys a finite and fixed set of instructions.
His model, the Universal Machine, is just a bit smarter than a typewriter. The English mathematician Alan Turing, who invented computers, didn't exactly glorify computers. This problem has been a central concern for many mathematicians ever since computers were invented.
#CURSE BEANCOUNTER HOW TO#
That is : how to represent, with a computer, continuous and infinitely accurate phenomena? Indeed, while Stanley Osher has dealt with just one problem, it just happens that this problem is actually the main problem of numerical analysis: Summarizing them in less than 15 minutes is really not such an impossible task. Professor Osher's bibliography contains almost 200 papers. His discipline is numerical analysis and he has contributed to reshape this discipline. Stanley Osher is Professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. Madame la Directrice, dear colleagues, dear students, ladies and gentlemen,
