This lecture examines the mathematics behind computing, starting with the history of the explosive growth of computer technology, from code breaking through to all aspects of modern communication and security.
This talk looks at mathematical modelling of real, complex fluids in flow situations – some with serious commercial applications, and some just for fun.
The last 500 years of progress in maths will be reviewed, to see where it is going next and ask whether we are truly living in a mathematical Golden Age.
Mathematics education is changing rapidly and a big driver for this is the use of new technology. In this talk, we will look at the modern developments of computer based teaching and learning.
In this lecture, we will examine the phenomenon of computer vision, show how to build a computer vision system and discuss the expectations for the future.
