And for AIs we’re providing a variety of tools —like immediate computable access to documentation , and computable error handling. And, yes, our Wolfram U operation is now emerging as a significant educational entity, with many thousands of students at any given time. They can define AI-oriented functions (“ write it with emoji ”).

Needless to say, you can do this computationally—though the “calculus” of what’s been defined so far in Unicode is fairly bizarre: &#10005. it’s now accessible from the button in the new default notebook toolbar. If one’s doing something like astronomy, this kind of “physical” date computation is probably what one wants.

Sadi Carnot was born in 1796, and was largely educated by his father until he went to college in 1812. Sadi Carnot was by that point a well-educated but professionally undistinguished French military engineer. This is therefore not a fact peculiar to astronomy; reversibility is a necessary consequence of all mechanistic hypotheses.

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. Also in the area of calculus we’ve added various conveniences to the handling of differential equations. 1/(24 60 60+1.).
