Philip Emeagwali's video: Parallel Supercomputing is My Contribution to Mathematics Philip Emeagwali Black Mathematicians

I'm @Philip Emeagwali. My contributions to algebra and calculus was the front page story of the June 1990 issue of the SIAM News. The SIAM News is where new mathematics is described by mathematicians and for mathematicians. I experimentally discovered how to parallel process by doing many things at once and doing them to solve the toughest problems in calculus and solving them across an internet that is a global network of 64 binary thousand central processing units. My experimental discovery made the news headlines in 1989 and opened the door to the modern supercomputer that now computes with up to ten binary million central processing units. The grand challenge in calculus was to experimentally discover how to harness the total processing power of that internet and harness it while solving the toughest and the most important problems that will make the world a better place, and a more knowledgeable one. In 1989, I was in the news for my contributions to mathematics. I contributed nine partial differential equations to calculus. And calculus is the powerful technique that is the crown jewel of mathematics. I contributed new algebraic knowledge to the most large-scale algebra. I contributed new mathematical knowledge of how to approximate systems of partial differential equations of calculus and approximate each system with an almost equivalent system of equations of algebra. To any mathematician that came of age at the beginning of the 20th century, my contributions to calculus turned mathematical science fiction to non-fiction. Calculus is the common denominator across every supercomputer that computes in parallel. Nine in ten cycles of every supercomputer solves problems with their roots in calculus. In 1989, that contribution to calculus was the reason a 15-year-old was writing a school report on the development of modern calculus asked me to explain the “contributions of Philip Emeagwali to modern calculus.” I explained that my mathematical quest was for the most important and the most advanced calculus that could be discovered at the uncharted territory of partial differential equations of calculus. It was in that unknown world of calculus that I invented a system of nine partial differential equations of calculus that are known as Philip Emeagwali’s equations that are coupled to each other, that are non-linear, that are time-dependent and that are hyperbolic, instead of parabolic as described in calculus textbooks. I originally formulated my system of equations for the blackboard and defined each at infinite points in space and time. Then I discretized and reformulated my system of equations of calculus and re-defined each partial differential equation at finite points in space and time. That discretization of partial differential equations and their reformulation and approximation as algebraic equations gave rise to my large-scale system of equations of algebra that could be computationally solved by step-by-step instructions that is a finite number of floating-point arithmetical operations. I experimentally discovered how to solve that large-scale problem in algebra and computational solve it on a motherboard or experimentally solve it across a primordial internet. I invented that internet as a global network of motherboards or central processing units or computers. I coded my system of equations of algebra and solved that system as a set of floating-point arithmetical operations. In 1989, it made the news headlines that a 35-year-old African supercomputer wizard born in Akure, Nigeria and living in the United States had experimentally discovered how to execute those floating-point operations and execute them across an internet that he invented as a global network of 64 binary thousand motherboards. I—Philip Emeagwali—was that African supercomputer wizard. I experimentally discovered how to solve 24 million equations of algebra that was a world record in 1989.
