9 Good Collections of Videos for Education

Ask a Tech Teacher

Bitsize is the BBC’s collection of free short videos and lessons (they’re all bite-sized) on over fifty subjects taught in Primary or Secondary education. ” Kudos to their ability to achieve that goal. Topics include languages, music, technology, social studies, science, engineering, maths, journalism, and more.

Building a specifications grading course, part 2

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

This is the second part of a two-parter where I am going into detail about how the grading system in my current course, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, is set up. This helps me avoid conundrums like when a student has maxed out all the achievements in the course but missed on one Foundational Skill.)

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.

Twenty Years Later: The Surprising Greater Implications of A New Kind of Science

Stephen Wolfram

My stated goal at the beginning of A New Kind of Science was to go beyond the mathematical paradigm, and that’s exactly what was achieved. All of these ideas rest on what was achieved in A New Kind of Science but now go significantly beyond it. In traditional chemistry, things like this generally aren’t “observed”.

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. It’s worth mentioning, by the way, that while the three-body problem does show sensitive dependence on initial conditions , that’s not the primary issue here; rather, it’s the actual intrinsic complexity of the trajectories.)

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

Stephen Wolfram

But then—basically starting in the early 1980s—there was a burst of progress based on a new idea (of which, yes, I seem to have ultimately been the primary initiator): the idea of using simple programs , rather than mathematical equations, as the basis for models of things in nature and elsewhere. Chemistry / Molecular Biology.
