 Cooperation with:
• The International Association for the Properties of
Water and Steam (www.iapws.org)

• The National Institute of Standards and Technology

(NIST -www.nist.gov)

• The Knovel Corporation (www.knovel.com) now a part

of the
Elsevier Corporation (www.elsevier.com)

• I hope with The School of Engineering and Materials

Science too after my this visit in QMUL
 Three revolutionary events stand out in
historical process of knowledge transfer
development from one generation to the next :

1. Writing appearance
2. Invention of book printing
3. Implementation of computer
technologies

2
Now we have one Crisis in
computer technologies:
1. «Nightmare» of the inherited, old
software at firms, in institutions and
universities

2. Misprints the formulas of scientific and

technical literature and reference

3. Disarrangement of paper manuals and

textbooks with IT-technologies
3
«Nightmare» of the “old” software at the Joint Institute of high
temperatures of Russian Academy of Science: old Hewlett-
Packard with old Fortran (since 1885)

 Three historical stages in the modes of
using computers for educational,
engineering and scientific problems:
1. Batch mode, where one computer (the famous BESM-6, for example, installed
in the computer center) serves many users, which it delivered to the their
tasks recorded in the deck of cards and the other is neglected (paper) Media
.
2. Mode (time) of personal computers.

3. Mode of global and local (corporate, university and other) networks, which
essentially brings us back to a batch mode, but in a different, more qualitative
level, baseline data and calculation results are transferred is no longer on
paper and in electronic form on the web. Same calculations as it is necessary
can be parallelized (cluster, distributed calculations, etc.) .

4
 Three historical stages of development of
software solutions of engineering and
scientific problems on computers:

1. Work with absolute codes (assembler, pocket calculator)

2. Programming using high-level languages (ALGOL, fortran,
Pascal, C, BASIC, Java etc)
Excel (with VBA), Matlab (Programming languages)

3. Using mathematical packages such as Mathcad,

SMath, Maple, Matlab, Mathematica, MuPAD, Derive, etc

2. Using units by calculation
Three type of formulas in books:

1. Physical formulas – m·c2, m·v2/2 etc.

2. Empirical formulas

3. Pseudo-empirical formulas (???)

An Empirical formula
An Typical empirical formula
A Pseudo-empirical formula – what is it?
One example: I want to calculate the molality (L) aqueous solution of NaCl with

molarity M = 2 mol/L and density q = 1.076 gm/mL. I find in Internet table:
