View more information on the DOE CSGF Program at http://www.krellinst.org/csgf Ashlee Ford Versypt Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Smart designs of drug molecules and pharmaceutical formulations can target treatments to specific tissues, reduce side effects, and improve patient quality of care. Computational models for evaluating pharmaceutical formulations can narrow the range of experiments needed to identify successful designs by predicting performance, thus reducing development time and driving down costs. Models coupled with sophisticated process control strategies allow for careful manufacturing monitoring to reduce materials and energy waste and adhere to quality standards. I will overview mathematical modeling efforts in several pharmaceutical domains and highlight work related to predicting drug release from controlled-release formulations that administer medicine over extended periods with a single dose. I will show how coupled, nonlinear partial differential equations can be used to capture the complex dynamic interactions between simultaneous chemical reactions and mass transfer. I will describe mathematical techniques that can reduce the system size from thousands of equations to just a few while still resolving biodegradation of the pharmaceutical formulation that strongly influences drug release dynamics. These techniques can help design improved controlled-release formulations.

Medical Philology in the "Second Rome": Ancient Learning & Attack on "Traditional Chinese Medicine"

Order: Reorder
Duration: 105:04
Updated: 07 Jun 2011

The 2011 Edwin O. Reischauer Lectures Undoing/Redoing Modern Sino-Japanese Cultural and Intellectual History, Benjamin A. Elman, Princeton University From Harvard University's Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies watch Elman reintegrate the history of "traditional Chinese medicine" with other themes associated with the intellectual history of classical learning in East Asia from 1600 to 1800 mentioned in the second lecture. This was a time when classical learning enabled rising social statuses for the classically literate. Normally these fields are studied separately as "Confucianism" (儒學) or "medicine" (醫學), with little effort to integrate them thematically in light of the history of ideas or according to the cultural geography of classical learning in East Asia. Doctors, mathematicians, and philologists shared the same classical texts known in East Asia as the Confucian "classics," mathematical "classics," and medical "classics." Physicians and mathematicians throughout East Asia were as classically literate as Mandarin scholar-officials who passed civil examinations. In the late eighteenth century, in particular, Japanese scholars and physicians interested in Chinese classical studies adapted Chinese philological research techniques of paleography, etymology, and phonology. Why did newly emerging Japanese elites prioritize classical Chinese as a language of learning and focus on Chinese medical texts for medical studies? Why did "medical philology" in Japan produce a divisive cleavage between Sinophobes and Sinophiles, and what was at stake?

The Great Math Mystery Documentary - Decoding The Universe Through Mathematics - Documentary HD Mathematics is the research study of topics such as quantity (numbers), framework, space, and also adjustment. There is a range of views amongst mathematicians and theorists regarding the exact range as well as interpretation of maths. Mathematicians seek out patterns and also use them to formulate brand-new guessworks. Mathematicians resolve the fact or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proof. When mathematical frameworks are good versions of real phenomena, after that mathematical thinking could offer understanding or predictions regarding nature. With making use of abstraction as well as reasoning, mathematics created from counting, computation, dimension, and the systematic study of the shapes and movements of physical objects. Practical mathematics has actually been a human task for as far back as written documents exist. The research called for to solve mathematical troubles could take years or perhaps centuries of sustained questions. Rigorous disagreements initially appeared in Greek maths, most significantly in Euclid's Components. Because the pioneering job of Giuseppe Peano (1858-- 1932), David Hilbert (1862-- 1943), as well as others on dogmatic systems in the late 19th century, it has actually become normal to see mathematical research study as developing fact by rigorous reduction from suitably chosen axioms as well as interpretations. Mathematics developed at a reasonably sluggish rate until the Renaissance, when mathematical developments connecting with new scientific explorations brought about a quick rise in the rate of mathematical exploration that has actually continued to the here and now day. Galileo Galilei (1564-- 1642) claimed, "Deep space can not be read up until we have actually found out the language as well as end up being acquainted with the personalities in which it is composed. It is written in mathematical language, as well as the letters are triangles, circles and also various other geometrical numbers, without meanings it is humanly impossible to understand a solitary word. Without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth." Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-- 1855) described maths as "the Queen of the Sciences". Benjamin Peirce (1809-- 1880) called maths "the science that attracts required final thoughts". [14] David Hilbert said of mathematics: "We are not speaking here of arbitrariness in any sort of sense. Mathematics is not such as a video game whose activities are established by randomly stipulated policies. Rather, it is a theoretical system possessing interior necessity that can just be so and by no means or else." Albert Einstein (1879-- 1955) explained that "as for the laws of mathematics describe fact, they are not specific; and also as far as they are particular, they do not describe reality." French mathematician Claire Voisin states "There is imaginative drive in maths, it's about activity attempting to express itself.". Mathematics is utilized throughout the globe as a necessary tool in many industries, consisting of natural science, design, medicine, finance as well as the social scientific researches. Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematics interesteded in application of mathematical expertise to other areas, motivates and takes advantage of brand-new mathematical discoveries, which has actually resulted in the growth of completely brand-new mathematical self-controls, such as data and also game theory. Maths wizzard additionally participate in pure maths, or math for its own purpose, without having any kind of application in mind. There is no clear line separating pure as well as used mathematics, and sensible applications for what began as pure mathematics are often uncovered.

Mathematics is the Key to Higher Dimensions

Updated: 17 Jan 2014

Mathematics is the abstract study of topics such as quantity (numbers), structure, space, and change. There is a range of views among mathematicians and philosophers as to the exact scope and definition of mathematics. Mathematicians seek out patterns and use them to formulate new conjectures. Mathematicians resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proof. When mathematical structures are good models of real phenomena, then mathematical reasoning can provide insight or predictions about nature. Through the use of abstraction and logic, mathematics developed from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Practical mathematics has been a human activity for as far back as written records exist. The research required to solve mathematical problems can take years or even centuries of sustained inquiry. Rigorous arguments first appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements. Since the pioneering work of Giuseppe Peano (1858--1932), David Hilbert (1862--1943), and others on axiomatic systems in the late 19th century, it has become customary to view mathematical research as establishing truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. Mathematics developed at a relatively slow pace until the Renaissance, when mathematical innovations interacting with new scientific discoveries led to a rapid increase in the rate of mathematical discovery that has continued to the present day. Galileo Galilei (1564--1642) said, "The universe cannot be read until we have learned the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Without these, one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth." Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777--1855) referred to mathematics as "the Queen of the Sciences". Benjamin Peirce (1809--1880) called mathematics "the science that draws necessary conclusions". David Hilbert said of mathematics: "We are not speaking here of arbitrariness in any sense. Mathematics is not like a game whose tasks are determined by arbitrarily stipulated rules. Rather, it is a conceptual system possessing internal necessity that can only be so and by no means otherwise." Albert Einstein (1879--1955) stated that "as far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." French mathematician Claire Voisin states "There is creative drive in mathematics, it's all about movement trying to express itself." Mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, finance and the social sciences. Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematics concerned with application of mathematical knowledge to other fields, inspires and makes use of new mathematical discoveries, which has led to the development of entirely new mathematical disciplines, such as statistics and game theory. Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics, or mathematics for its own sake, without having any application in mind. There is no clear line separating pure and applied mathematics, and practical applications for what began as pure mathematics are often discovered.

Science and Islam, Jim Al-Khalili - BBC Documentary

Duration: 176:53
Updated: 27 Mar 2013

Science and Islam, Jim Al-Khalili. BBC Documentary Science and Islam is a three-part BBC documentary about the history of science in medieval Islamic civilization presented by Jim Al-Khalili. The series is accompanied by the book Science and Islam: A History written by Ehsan Masood. Episodes: Part 1: The Language of Science Part 2: The Empire of Reason Part 3: The Power of Doubt Part 1: The Language of Science: Physicist Jim Al-Khalili travels through Syria, Iran, Tunisia and Spain to tell the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. Its legacy is tangible, with terms like algebra, algorithm and alkali all being Arabic in origin and at the very heart of modern science - there would be no modern mathematics or physics without algebra, no computers without algorithms and no chemistry without alkalis. For Baghdad-born Al-Khalili this is also a personal journey and on his travels he uncovers a diverse and outward-looking culture, fascinated by learning and obsessed with science. From the great mathematician Al-Khwarizmi, who did much to establish the mathematical tradition we now know as algebra, to Ibn Sina, a pioneer of early medicine whose Canon of Medicine was still in use as recently as the 19th century, he pieces together a remarkable story of the often-overlooked achievements of the early medieval Islamic scientists. Part 2: The Empire of Reason: Physicist Jim Al-Khalili travels through Syria, Iran, Tunisia and Spain to tell the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. Al-Khalili travels to northern Syria to discover how, a thousand years ago, the great astronomer and mathematician Al-Biruni estimated the size of the earth to within a few hundred miles of the correct figure. He discovers how medieval Islamic scholars helped turn the magical and occult practice of alchemy into modern chemistry. In Cairo, he tells the story of the extraordinary physicist Ibn al-Haytham, who helped establish the modern science of optics and proved one of the most fundamental principles in physics - that light travels in straight lines. Prof Al-Khalili argues that these scholars are among the first people to insist that all scientific theories are backed up by careful experimental observation, bringing a rigour to science that didn't really exist before. Part 3: The Power of Doubt: Physicist Jim Al-Khalili tells the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. Al-Khalili turns detective, hunting for clues that show how the scientific revolution that took place in the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe had its roots in the earlier world of medieval Islam. He travels across Iran, Syria and Egypt to discover the huge astronomical advances made by Islamic scholars through their obsession with accurate measurement and coherent and rigorous mathematics. He then visits Italy to see how those Islamic ideas permeated into the West and ultimately helped shape the works of the great European astronomer Copernicus, and investigates why science in the Islamic world appeared to go into decline after the 16th and 17th centuries, only for it to re-emerge in the present day. Al-Khalili ends his journey in the Royan Institute in the Iranian capital Tehran, looking at how science is now regarded in the Islamic world.

Some vocations elicit immediate respect and understanding. Medicine and law, for example. Teaching and engineering. Pure mathematics, however, presents for most people an unfathomable mystery. By definition, it’s the study of abstract mathematical concepts, as opposed to applied mathematics, which considers the physical application of maths in the “real” world. Yet in practice there’s much overlap, and although pure maths concepts are far removed from our daily experience and require years of study to understand, their influence on human progress is profound. In his Inaugural Lecture, Professor Finnur Larusson will reveal the unique characteristics of his discipline and its incalculable value, and provide a fascinating insight into his own research.
