If We’re Serious About Student Well-Being, We Must Change the Systems Students Learn In

ED Surge

Research shows that excessive homework leads to increased stress, physical health problems and a lack of balance in students' lives. That’s troubling because studies show that students who take AP classes and exams are twice as likely to report adverse physical and emotional health.

The Most Underrated Computer Science Career: Quantitative Analysis

STEMe

In short, the stock market is a physical or virtual marketplace in which shares of a company are traded between individuals or companies for monetary value. Quantitative traders routinely use highly complex mathematics, such as stochastic calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and discrete mathematics to create these models.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

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. The theory of heat will hereafter form one of the most important branches of general physics. physics) in Glasgow—began to be curious about.

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

Indeed, so confident was he of his programming prowess that he became convinced that he should in effect be able to write a program for the universe—and make all of physics into a programming problem. It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus).

For instance, I had access to a CT scanner to scan the cores, while Molly’s lab has equipment to study grain size and X-ray diffraction.” A high productivity of phytoplankton in the surface water above a sediment suggests the area was not covered by thick ice, as they need access to sunlight to photosynthesise,” explains Denise. “We

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

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.
