Abstract:
|
Statistical, Mathematical and Computational Sciences (SMACS) have been invisible sciences in academia, industry and government, and are having an impeccable impact. Examples of the impact will be discussed. Also, the importance of being more visible, and proactively promoting the practice and profession of our disciplines will be discussed. Training of future problem solvers, with core, computational and communication skills in the era of data and observation and in a data-centric world, is a key to economic development and job creation.
