Lecture 12.3: The Amazing Alan Turing - Richard Buckland (extension lecture) UNSW 2008

We had a gap at the end of Lecture 12 so Richard gives an unplanned and impromptu talk about some of the contributions of the amazing thinker Alan Turing. So much to say, so little time, such fast talking. We chat about 3 different major contributions he made to the world - his decryption work during WWII and the Engima Machine; his abstract model of a computer (the Turing Machine) and what things can be effectively "computed"; and finally, briefly only, his thoughts about what it is to be human and the difference between humans and computers - the Turing Test. Alan Turing is a key figure in the development of computing, indeed if I had to pick just one thinker who was the most amazing he'd get my vote. Richard promises to talk about the Turing Test in more depth in the next extension lecture. Also comes up: Epimenides paradox, non computable functions, the halting problem, U-559, Colin Grazier GC, Anthony Fasson, GC,Tommy Brown, Blade Runner, CAPTCHAs. Errata: My memory was about as reliable as usual - I said Tommy stayed outside in a boat but i've since read that all three swam across and went into the U-559. Humbling bravery. I've also since realised that Colin Grazier was from Tamworth in the UK, not the Tamworth in Australia as I had always thought (why are so many English places named after Australian towns?) Finally, something which actually I did know but still managed to get wrong - the important material salvaged was not a cypher machine but quantities of data <b>...</b>

Applications of Double integrals. Chris Tisdell UNSW

In this lecture I discuss the applications of multiple integrals in an applied mathematics and engineering context. I discuss how to calculate the mass, moments and centre of mass of 2-dimensional thin plates. I also briefly glimpse at applications of triple integrals. This is lecture no.1 of MATH2111 "Higher Several Variable Caluclus", which is a 2nd-year subject taught at UNSW, Sydney. The course also features vector calculus.

What is the Curl? Chris Tisdell UNSW

This lecture gently introduces the idea of a the "curl" of a vector field. The curl is one of the basic operations of vector calculus. Dr Chris Tisdell discusses the definition of the curl and how to compute it. Plently of examples are provided. A physical interpretation of the curl is also presented in terms of circulation density. Basically speaking, curl measures the tendency of a vector field to "swirl" around a point.

Linear differential equations. Chris Tisdell UNSW Sydney

This video demonstrates how to solve linear ordinary differential equations (linear ODEs). Linear ODEs are defined and a method is developed to extract its solution. The ideas rely on an "integrating factor" and the product rule from calculus. Several examples are presented to illustrate the ideas, which are seen in 1st year university.

From Shopping Bags to Steel

UNSW's commercialisation arm, NewSouth Innovations (NSi) has signed a deal with Australia's largest manufacturer of steel long products, OneSteel, that gives the steel-maker exclusive rights to sub-license unique technology to reduce reliance on coke and coal in electric arc furnace (EAF) steel-making. Invented and developed by materials scientist Professor Veena Sahajwalla, the technology substitutes up to 30 percent of coke and coal with polyethylene waste plastic, thereby reducing landfills and producing a win for the environment.

This lecture discusses how to integrate vector fields over curves, better known as "line integrals". Dr Chris Tisdell defines the concept of a line integral and presents some examples on their calculation. Special attention is given to the applications of line integrals such as: calculating work done by a variable force on a particle moving over curved paths; fluid flow (flux) over closed curves; circulation and flow integrals. Plenty of examples are presented.

Science Without Borders: UNSW / NUS Short Exchange Program

Science Without Borders www.science.unsw.edu.au is a short course joint venture with a university in another country. It is an excellent opportunity to experience another culture while studying some fun and interesting subjects at a world-class university. This is a video presentation on the short exchange program offered to UNSW Faculty of Science, Advanced Science Students, to study at the National University of Singapore. Travel scholarship, which covers the return airfare to Singapore, is awarded by the faculty to participants selected for this program. Participation in this program is credited towards the advanced science degree. The Faculties of Science at UNSW and the National University of Singapore are continuing their joint short-course program for the 4th time this year. It will see UNSW Advanced Science students spend up to six weeks in Singapore in Jun - Jul and NUS students coming to UNSW in Dec - Jan.

What is Green's theorem? Chris Tisdell UNSW

This lecture discusses Green's theorem in the plane. Green's theorem not only gives a relationship between double integrals and line integrals, but it also gives a relationship between "curl" and "circulation". In addition, Gauss' divergence theorem in the plane is also discussed, which gives the relationship between divergence and flux. Plenty of examples are presented.
