The biases are notably stark if schools are divided out by minority enrollment, as public middle and high schools with more than 50 percent White students have only 2 percent of mathematics teachers and 1 percent of science teachers that are Black ( National Center for Science & Engineering Statistics ). In comparison to the U.S.

Thanks to some heroic software engineering by our team and by OpenAI , ChatGPT can now call on Wolfram|Alpha—and Wolfram Language as well—to give it what we might think of as “computational superpowers”. But when it’s connected to the Wolfram plugin it can do these things. And here’s a bonus: immediate visualization: How did this work?

This semester I taught two sections of Discrete Structures for Computer Science 1, an entry-level course for Computer Science majors on the mathematical foundations of computing. Nearly all the students are CS majors.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (forthcoming) 2. But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. This is part 3 in a 3-part series about the Second Law: 1.

But some of it has immediate practical implications, notably for parallel, distributed, nondeterministic and quantum-style computing. The key point is that a given event cannot happen unless all the inputs to it are available, i.e. have already been computed. Some of what this will lead us to is deeply abstract.

And at first I did so in the main scientific paradigm I knew : models based on mathematics and mathematical equations. But in a quirk of history that I now realize had tremendous significance, I had just spent a couple of years creating a big computer system that was ultimately a direct forerunner of our modern Wolfram Language.

And there was one way in which Ed and I were very much aligned: both of our lives were deeply influenced by computers and computing. Ed had started with computers in 1956—as part of one of the very first cohorts of programmers. Finally I felt as if there might be a plausible computational foundation for fundamental physics.
