Computer Science Colloquium - "Getting Real with a Computer: How do we approximate an infinite number system with a finite machine" by Dr. Herb Dershem, Computer Science Dept, VDW 104 The real number system is a fantastic tool for solving many problems. There is just one difficulty in using this tool with computers: real numbers are infinite and computers are finite. There are a number of approaches to approximating real numbers on computers, each with its advantages and disadvantages. In this talk we will examine those approaches that were tried in the past, the present day standard (floating point), and some approaches that might be of interest in the future. |

Seminar sponsored by Physics, Engineering, History, the Dean of Arts and Humanities and the Cultural Affairs Committee - Dr. Thomas Greenslade – “Sparks and Wiggles”, VDW 104 Thomas Greenslade received an A.B. in physics from Amherst College in Massachusetts in 1959 and a Ph.D. in experimental low temperature physics from Rutgers University in 1965. From 1964 to 2002 he was a physics faculty member at Kenyon College, and and has taught part-time since then. His research deals with early physics teaching apparatus, and in support of that he have a large web site, a private museum wing to his house, and a series of nearly 200 illustrations of early apparatus in American Journal of Physics. He has about 235 publications in The Physics Teacher, American Journal of Physics, Rittenhouse and Physics in Perspective. Recently he was appointed for a fifth three-year term on the Committee on the History and Philosophy of Physics of the American Association of Physics Teachers, which awarded him a Distinguished Service Citation in 1987 and in 2002 listed him as one of the 75 most influential physics teachers and physicists in the United States. |
