[Aspuru-Guzik group list] My Tannor book

by Joel Yuen

Hi all, I'm just wondering if by any chance someone took my Tannor book that was on the bookshelf at my desk (It's actually not mine but of the library). I need to read something in that book. Thanks, Joel.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-colloquium] Announcing first IIC colloquium

by Pavlos Protopapas

Dear friends, The IIC seminar series, renamed the IIC Colloquium Series, begins its fourth year next Wednesday, Oct. 1. We hope you'll join us for a talk by journalist Brian Hayes, who writes the "Computing Science" column for American Scientist magazine. A collection of Brian's essays, _Group Theory in the Bedroom, and Other Mathematical Diversions_, was published this year by Hill & Wang. He blogs at http://bit-player.org. See schedule and location details below and at iic.harvard.edu. If you would like to subscribe to our listserv for announcements of IIC colloquia and workshops, or if you would like to be removed from the list, please contact Helene Tingle Uysal, helene_tingle(a)harvard.edu. Pavlos Protopapas Senior Scientist, IIC ******* Initiative in Innovative Computing Colloquium Wednesday, October 1, 2008 at 4pm Location: 60 Oxford Street, Room 330 Brian Hayes, Senior Writer, American Scientist magazine Title: Computing in Alfonso's Universe Abstract: "If the Lord Almighty had consulted me before embarking on creation, I should have recommended something simpler." This sentiment, supposedly the response of Alfonso X, King of León and Castile, to the explanation of Ptolemaic astronomy, is likely to be shared by anyone who delves into algorithms for simulating the physical universe. Nature seems to have no difficulty with n-body problems, protein folding or fluid turbulence, but these phenomena are tedious, messy and computationally expensive when you try to capture them in code. Really serious physics, such as quantum field theory, gets far worse. The very difficulty of some of these problems may tell us something about the connections between physics and computation.
