Math professor Martin Weissman is rethinking how his university teaches calculus. Over the summer, the professor from the University of California at Santa Cruz, spent a week at Harvard to learn how to redesign the mathematics for life sciences courses his institution offers. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. The solution?

Mathematics. But in the 1600s came the idea of modeling things with mathematical formulas—in which time enters, but basically just as a coordinate value. We won’t always be able to make a simple human—or, say, mathematical—narrative to explain or predict what a system will do. These are all ways to formalize the world.

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. 2017; Stein et al.,

There’s a big example of this historically, in mathematics. But then mathematical notation was invented, and math took off—with the development of algebra, calculus, and eventually all the various mathematical sciences. Back before about 500 years ago, pretty much the only way to “express math” was in natural language.

And at first I did so in the main scientific paradigm I knew : models based on mathematics and mathematical equations. From mathematics. Mathematical physics. By the late 1970s, though, there were other initiatives emerging, particularly coming from mathematics and mathematical physics. Synergetics.
