Computers can solve complex problems but they are far from omnipotent. Prof. Ran Raz of the Weizmann Institute's Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Department is trying to portray the limits of a computer's abilities and to estimate the resources required to solve certain problems.

Prof. Vered Rom-Kedar

Order Out of Chaos

02.09.2000

People and Events›People

Mathematical chaos theory tells us that it is impossible to predict the distant future in a chaotic system. By utilizing chaos theory, Prof. Vered Rom-Kedar found an orderly explanation for a previously unexplained phenomenon. Her finding may one day make possible more accurate predictions of he movement of various objects in the atmosphere.
