They talk animatedly about plate tectonics, debate the structure of atoms, even smile at the mention of calculus. There’s always been something mystically cerebral about people in technical professions like engineering, science, and 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. Yet we have not seen equal advances in achievement (National Center for Education Statistics, 2019). Domina et al.,

Here's the one from Winter 2021 for calculus and here's the one for modern algebra. This worked out really well since students got access to helpful resources and a break from time pressure, and I got more explanations of reasoning which led (in my view) to better data about student learning.

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.

He’s writing a paper, he says, basically to clarify the Second Law, (or, as he calls it, “the second fundamental theorem”—rather confidently asserting that he will “prove this theorem”): Part of the issue he’s trying to address is how the calculus is done: The partial derivative symbol ∂ had been introduced in the late 1700s.

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 at t steps gives a total number of rules equal to: ✕. But what can we do with this statement? ✕.
