How can first-year STEM university students be better supported?

Futurum

At the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg in the US, biologists Barbara Barnhart and Dr Olivia Long are using their Science Seminar programme to ease this transition for first year students studying biology, chemistry and biochemistry degrees. One of their methods is a focus on case studies, looking at specific issues in detail.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

So many discoveries, so many inventions, so much achieved, so much learned. And key to everything we do is leveraging what we have already done—often taking what in earlier years was a pinnacle of technical achievement, and now using it as a routine building block to reach a level that could barely even be imagined before.

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

Stephen Wolfram

In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. And he says “There’s a problem.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. of what’s now Wolfram Language —we were trying to develop algorithms to compute hundreds of mathematical special functions over very broad ranges of arguments. Back in 1987—as part of building Version 1.0

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models. Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. Chemistry / Molecular Biology.

Launching Version 12.3 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

1”) releases that deliver our latest R&D achievements—both fully fleshed out, and partly as “coming attractions”—much more frequently. Particularly notable is significantly faster rendering on Windows platforms, achieved by using DirectWrite and making use of GPU capabilities. More in Chemistry. We released Version 12.2
