Title of Presentation
“Mathematics and Technology: Past and Future”
Mathematics has played an essential supporting role in the development of computers, of communications, and of the internet. A famous talk of Eugene Wigner in 1959 addressed “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences". This talk will describe some examples of the invisible uses of mathematics in products and processes, a consequence of such effectiveness. The speaker will draw on his 30 year experience in industrial research and development at Bell Laboratories. He will describe the environment for mathematicians at Bell Labs that led to extraordinary developments, both theoretical and practical. The power of computers together with universal communication has changed interaction in the larger society. The talk will discuss how these developments feed back on doing mathematics, changing how mathematicians think as well as what they can do.
