The Math Revolution You Haven’t Heard About

ED Surge

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. But there’s also a quieter revolution taking place that applies a different strategy to achieve the same principles.

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.

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

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. Even after everything our civilization has achieved, we’re just at the very, very beginning of exploring rulial space. These are all ways to formalize the world.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. And that’s for example why things like mathematical formulas have been able to be as successful in science as they have. In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be.

Observer Theory

Stephen Wolfram

But in observer theory what we want to do is just characterize the equivalencing that’s achieved. But here we want to think not about what’s “mathematically describable”, but instead about what in general is actually implemented —say by our senses, our measuring devices, or our ways of analyzing things. But other features do not.

They should also explore various branches of science such as biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences. Mathematics is a foundational subject that underpins all other STEM disciplines. Students should be taught mathematical concepts such as algebra, geometry, statistics, and calculus.
