Don’t Give Up on Algebra: Let’s Shift the Focus to Instruction

National Science Foundation

In its current form, school algebra serves as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics. Researchers and policy makers have pushed to open that gate—providing more students access to algebra, focusing in particular on those students historically denied access to higher-level mathematics. Domina et al., 2017; Stein et al.,

ChatGPT Gets Its “Wolfram Superpowers”!

Stephen Wolfram

And in the end, as we’ll discuss later, that’s a more flexible and powerful way to communicate. But then mathematical notation was invented, and math took off—with the development of algebra, calculus, and eventually all the various mathematical sciences. But it doesn’t work unless the Wolfram Language code is exactly right.

The Physicalization of Metamathematics and Its Implications for the Foundations of Mathematics

Stephen Wolfram

But beginning a little more than a century ago there emerged the idea that one could build mathematics purely from formal axioms, without necessarily any reference to what is accessible to sensory experience. So how about logic, or, more specifically Boolean algebra ? We’ve looked at axioms for group theory and for Boolean algebra.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Any integral of an algebraic function can in principle be done in terms of our general DifferentialRoot objects. When you do operations on Around numbers the “errors” are combined using a certain calculus of errors that’s effectively based on Gaussian distributions—and the results you get are always in some sense statistical.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And for AIs we’re providing a variety of tools —like immediate computable access to documentation , and computable error handling. But it’s also possible for anyone to post their prompts in the Wolfram Cloud and make them publicly (or privately) accessible. So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? In Version 14.0
