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.,

But he had a second hypothesis too—based, he said, on the ideas of “that most ingenious gentleman, Monsieur Descartes”: that instead air consists of “flexible particles” that are “so whirled around” that “each corpuscle endeavors to beat off all others”.

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.

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

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. and zero arguments: α[ ]. And in a way our Physics Project begins from a similar place. &#10005. &#10005.

Sometimes textbooks will gloss over everything; sometimes they’ll give some kind of “common-sense-but-outside-of-physics argument”. Once one has the idea of “equilibrium”, one can then start to think of its properties as purely being functions of certain parameters—and this opens up all sorts of calculus-based mathematical opportunities.
