- May 17th, 2006 - Episode 2: Building Blocks of Space
On this program Tom Lee interviews Dr. Dick Gran about designing fail-safe systems for the lunar module and other components of the Apollo space program ; how our use of math has changed with the newest generation computers and software; and his first thoughts about using Maplesoft's new product BlockBuilder. During his rich career Dr. Gran has led many scientific teams for the U.S. aerospace industry and was the Director of Advanced Concepts at Northrop-Grumman. Maplesoft product director Paul Goossens gives a detailed look at Blockbuilder for Simulink(R), Maplesoft's new product for advanced simulation model generation ; and we dish out some of the latest math news as well as answer some more email questions.
