Future Prospects for Computer-Assisted Mathematics

چکیده
The recent rise of “computer-assisted” and “experimental” mathematics raises intriguing questions as to the future role of computation in mathematics. These results also draw into question the traditional distinctions that have been drawn between formal proof and computationally-assisted proof. This article explores these questions in the context of the growing consensus among computer technologists that Moore’s Law is likely to continue unabated for quite some time into the future, producing hardware and software much more powerful than what is available today.

The Scientific Role of Computer Science in the 21 st Century
This paper defines the future role of computer science in its scientific context. We will show that the future prospects of mathematics, physics, biology, and human brain research will greatly depend on understanding them as branches of applied computer science. Therefore, we will establish applied computer science as a unifying foundation of natural sciences.
متن کاملSegmentation Assisted Object Distinction for Direct Volume Rendering
Ray Casting is a direct volume rendering technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has vital applications in medical and biological imaging. Nevertheless, it is inherently open to cluttered classification results. It suffers from overlapping transfer function values and lacks a sufficiently powerful voxel parsing mechanism for object distinction. In this work, we are proposing an ...
