The Impact of IT on Science Michal Sipko
3
Table of Contents The impact of IT on: Mathematics Physics Astronomy Biology Chemistry Social Social Sciences
4
Mathematics - Allows quicker computation - Makes the use of complex formulas possible - Makes more resources available - Advances mathematics Pythagoras
5
Physics IT has a huge impact on physics Used by experimenters to: Collect data Store data Analyze data Perform complex calculations and simulations
6
Astronomy Improves “data handling” archives intelligent storage databases Allows exploration of the universe new technology = more possibilities
7
Biology Biological processes are interpreted by means of informational processing Computer models help biologists design new experiments For example, a software developed by Serafim Batzoglou can store the entire human DNA in a computer, making it possible to look for genetic differences between individuals and species
8
Chemistry Internet – information is available quickly and research is easier Simulations of chemical mixtures, etc. Faster and more accurate results
9
Social Science Makes communication easier (email) Enables taking pictures from space (geography) Researching history is simplified Education is better – programs and other resources can be used
