mathematical and computing sciences question #563

Jeff Owens, a 32 year old male from Seattle WA USA asks on January 18, 2002,

Q:

I have an interest in algebraic manipulation of known physical/chemical laws & principles. I am trying to find out if anyone has every assembled a list of all known mathematical, physical, chemical laws and principles on a computer database and then run queries on those laws (to express them in alternate forms). Do you know if anyone has done this?

No one has got anywhere close to this to my knowledge! Even a small bit of this would be a coup. The Digital Library of Mathematical Functions is a step in this direction. Also see resources on my personal pages.

[Editor: Another interesting thing is the Inverse Symbolic Calculator developed by Borwein and others.]
