Don’t Give Up on Algebra: Let’s Shift the Focus to Instruction

National Science Foundation

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. Let’s Not Be So Quick to Give Up on Algebra.

ChatGPT Gets Its “Wolfram Superpowers”!

Stephen Wolfram

And in the end, as we’ll discuss later, that’s a more flexible and powerful way to communicate. The whole process of “prompt engineering” feels a bit like animal wrangling: you’re trying to get ChatGPT to do what you want, but it’s hard to know just what it will take to achieve that. But ChatGPT has all but made this process obsolete.

The Physicalization of Metamathematics and Its Implications for the Foundations of Mathematics

Stephen Wolfram

And in what follows we’ll see the great power that arises from using this to combine the achievements and intuitions of physics and mathematics—and how this lets us think about new “general laws of mathematics”, and view the ultimate foundations of mathematics in a different light. So how about logic, or, more specifically Boolean algebra ?

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Any integral of an algebraic function can in principle be done in terms of our general DifferentialRoot objects. 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.
