Alright, students, if our speed is 235 kt, our altitude is 7680', our distance to Rwy 24 is 32.8 nm, and our arrival is in 8 min/22sec, what is our descent rate in fpm? Ha.
I'm now subtracting 5 in the 5th position from the left. This is done in 3 steps: subtract 50, add 40, add 5. In this step I subtract 50 by subtracting 5 in the 4th position from the left.
I'm now subtracting 5 in the 5th position from the left. This is done in 3 steps: subtract 50, add 40, add 5. In this step I add 40 by adding 4 in the 4th position from the left.
In this exercise I'm showing how to add the number 123456789 to itself on the giant Soda Hall abacus. I add in left-to-right order, first adding 1 in the leftmost column, then 2 in the next column to the right, etc. For this particular computation, this order is slightly easier. This first step shows 123456789 entered on the abacus.
In this series, I am not present - this makes it less obvious what was changed, but does not occlude the abacus.
I'm now subtracting 6 in the 6th position from the left. This is done in 3 steps: subtract 10, add 5, subtract 1. In this step I subtract 10 by subtracting 1 in the 5th position from the left.

This lecture series explores key concepts in computational media to empower individuals to imagine, collaborate, provoke, and prototype through computing.
As a result of its widespread adoption, digital media has transitioned from "new media" to a ubiquitous part of contemporary life. This shift from novelty to familiarity has considerable ramifications for academic institutions working in the fields of media arts and digital culture. Exploring the formal potentials of information and networked technologies is no longer of significant interest: information technologies need to be understood as an embedded part of culture and history. Digital cultural practices must also work to extend their parent disciplines, including the studio arts, media history and theory, design, computer science and engineering.
Each speaker in the "Computation After New Media" series will focus on one word— a single term they feel is a core part of their work within the framework of computation. These lectures will be aimed at exploring the underlying structures of computationalism, providing an important leverage into the philosophy, languages, and principles of digital media.
October 22: Paul Dourish
Paul Dourish is a Professor of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at UC Irvine, with courtesy appointments in Computer Science and Anthropology. He teaches in the Informatics program and in the interdisciplinary graduate program in Arts Computation and Engineering. His primary research interests lie at the intersection of computer science and social science; he draws liberally on material from computer science, science and technology studies, cultural studies, humanities, and social sciences in order to understand information technology as a site of social and cultural production. In 2008, he was elected to the CHI Academy in recognition of his contributions to Human-Computer Interaction.
Dourish is the author of "Where the Action Is: The Foundations of Embodied Interaction" (MIT Press, 2001), which explores how phenomenological accounts of action can provide an alternative to traditional cognitive analysis for understanding the embodied experience of interactive and computational systems. Before coming to UCI, he was a Senior Member of Research Staff in the Computer Science Laboratory of Xerox PARC; he has also held research positions at Apple Computer and at Rank Xerox EuroPARC. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from University College, London, and a B.Sc. (Hons) in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science from the University of Edinburgh.
In this exercise I'm showing how to compute 246913578 minus 123456789 = 123456789 on the giant Soda Hall abacus. I subtract in left-to-right order, first subtracting 1 in the leftmost column, then 2 in the next column to the right, etc.

Computational chemistry efforts such as those by Felice Lightstone’s team at Lawrence Livermore may help streamline the drug discovery process, thereby enabling researchers to bring new therapies to clinical trials and the marketplace more rapidly and with a higher rate of success.
The project Cyber Physical Macro Material, which was developed at the Institute for Computational Design and Construction (ICD) as an ITECH M.Sc. thesis project by ITECH students Miguel Aflalo, Behrooz Tahanzadeh and Jingcheng Chen, demonstrates a tangible vision of a new dynamic (and intelligent) architecture for public spaces.
