Another common argument is that homework helps students develop skills related to problem-solving, time-management and self-direction. While it’s likely that homework completion signals student engagement, which in turn leads to academic achievement, there’s little evidence to suggest that homework itself improves engagement in learning.

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. Thus, improving access is alone insufficient to remedy racial inequities in mathematics education. Domina et al.,

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

The Wolfram Language is important to LLMs—in providing a way to access computation and computational knowledge from within the LLM. We’ve always built—and deployed—Wolfram Language so it can be accessible to as many people as possible. But the advent of LLMs—and our new Chat Notebooks —opens up Wolfram Language to vastly more people.

But in 1798 Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) (1753–1814) measured the heat produced by the mechanical process of boring a cannon, and began to make the argument that, in contradiction to the caloric theory, there was actually some kind of correspondence between mechanical energy and amount of heat.

You can give Threaded as an argument to any listable function, not just Plus and Times : &#10005. we’re adding SymmetricDifference : find elements that (in the 2-argument case) are in one list or the other, but not both. it’s now accessible from the button in the new default notebook toolbar. In Version 13.1 &#10005.

But we also have access to other ephemerides that cover much longer periods. Calculus & Its Generalizations. Is there still more to do in calculus? For example, you might have a function with several arguments that are each large expressions. The main ephemerides we use give data for the period 2000–2050.
