2. The Impact of IT on Science Michal Sipko

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

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

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

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

7. 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

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

9. 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
