The story of Feigenbaum presented in Gleik's Chaos is the reason I chose to do physics.

Theoretical physics and applied maths. I occasionally see people at the back of seminars with their laptop open, pugging away at their current puzzle with Mathematica.
I've used it to test and prototype calculations and algorithms.
The Stackexchange page for Mathematica is pretty amazing, and quite a good community.

A medical doctor friend of mine pointed out that thinking slow was fine, except in an emergency or indeed any time--limited situation where the rate of response needs to be above some threshold. Think: baraster responding to opponent, a and e doctor, board-room negotiation etc.

It would be interesting to know when this cockatoo was last seen if at all in west papua or papua new guinia.
Even so it is a fascinating story.

Bats too? I'm very curious to know if bat populations have also fallen. They are also dependent on the insects.

"Chaos" by James Gleick is about the same age as Hawking's book. The story of discovery there gives a great idea of the adventure in science.

I don't think it needs to be changed. It's actually really interesting to wonder what Mathematics is going to be like in 2048.
tomahunt | 8 years ago | on: The Mathematics of 2048: Counting States by Exhaustive Enumeration
I was expecting a maths where quantum computation had taken over analytic number theory and theorems could be proved using brute force enumeration.Or something

Oh,I misread this title and thought it was going to be about maths in the year 2048.
