THE CONSTANTS OF CHANGE

The fundamental constants that govern the laws of nature are being determined
with increasing accuracy. A new paper outlines the proceeding from this year’s workshop on the
Determine of the Fundamental Constants, where scientist convened to share their research of
fundamental constant Mathematics has the power to open our eyes to new and unsuspected regularities
in nature the secret structure of a cloud or the hidden rhythms of the weather. This book aims to equip the
reader with a mathematician's eye, changing the way we view the world.

Newton invented calculus to help work out solution to moving bodies. Its two basic operations integration
and differentiation mean that, given one element fore, mass or acceleration you can work out the other
two. Differentiation is the technique for finding rates of change. Integration is the techniques for undoing
the effect of differentiation to isolate out the initial variables. Calculating rates of changing is a crucial
aspect of maths, engineering and many other areas of science. Despite intensive effort, more than three
centuries after Newton we still do not have a complete answer to the three body problem. However, we
finally know why the problem grable”-the laws of conservation of energy and momentum restrict solutions
so much that they are forced to take a simple mathematical form.

FROM VIOLINS TO VIDEOS

A fascinating historical recap of how initial investigations into the way a violin string vibrates gave rise to
formulae and equations which turned out to be useful in mapping electricity and magnetism, which turned
out to be aspects of the same fundamental force, the understanding of which underpinned the invention
of radio, radar and Tv. Taking in descriptions of the contributions. Stewart makes the point that
mathematical theory tends to start with the simple and immediate and grow ever more complicated. This
is because of a basic principle, which is that you have to start somewhere. And it is mathematics that
reveals the simplicities of nature, and it is mathematics that reveals the simplicities of nature, and permits
us to generalize from simple examples to the complexities of the real world.

It took many people from many different areas of human activity to turn a mathematical insight into a
useful product.
