  1. The Impact of IT on Science Michal Sipko

  2. Table of Contents The impact of IT on: • Mathematics • Physics • Astronomy • Biology • Chemistry • Social Sciences

  3. Mathematics • Allows quicker computation • Makes the use of complex formulas possible • Makes more resources available • Advances mathematics Pythagoras

  4. Physics • IT has a huge impact on physics • Used by experimenters to: • Collect data • Store data • Analyze data • Perform complex calculations and simulations

  5. Astronomy • Improves “data handling” • archives • intelligent storage • databases • Allows exploration of the universe • new technology = more possibilities

  6. Biology • Biological processes are interpreted by means of informational processing • Computer models help biologists design new experiments • For example, a software developed by Serafim Batzoglou can store the entire human DNA in a computer, making it possible to look for genetic differences between individuals and species

  7. Chemistry • Internet – information is available quickly and research is easier • Simulations of chemical mixtures, etc. • Faster and more accurate results

  8. Social Science • Makes communication easier (email) • Enables taking pictures from space (geography) • Researching history is simplified • Education is better – programs and other resources can be used
