9 Good Collections of Videos for Education

Ask a Tech Teacher

Most are about five minutes (some longer, some shorter) and cover topics like chemistry, physics, calculus, geometry, biology, Algebra, trigonometry, grammar, ACT prep, and SAT prep. ” Kudos to their ability to achieve that goal. They are professionally recorded and presented by expert teachers with a class screen or whiteboard.

Numbers and networks: how can we use mathematics to assess the resilience of global supply chains?

Futurum

For example, as transportation networks play a key role in moving goods and materials from suppliers to customers, Zach hopes to integrate models of global transportation networks into his models of global supply chain networks. There are many branches of maths, including algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics.

How Inevitable Is the Concept of Numbers?

Stephen Wolfram

How do we achieve this? Let’s say that we’re trying to achieve the objective of having an efficient transportation system for carrying people around. The same is true of axioms for areas of abstract algebra like group theory—as well as basic Euclidean geometry (at least for integers). One person wants to get a cookie.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And in Mathematica and the Wolfram Language that’s achieved with Integrate. And over the years that’s exactly what we’ve achieved—for integrals, sums, differential equations, etc. It’s the end of a long journey, and a satisfying achievement in the quest to make as much mathematical knowledge as possible automatically computable.

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

Stephen Wolfram

Ed was never officially a “test pilot”, but he told me stories about figuring out how to take his plane higher than anyone else—and achieving weightlessness by flying his plane in a perfect free-fall trajectory by maintaining an eraser floating in midair in front of him. Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra.

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

For example, we know (as I discovered in 2000) that (( b · c ) · a ) · ( b · (( b · a ) · b )) = a is the minimal axiom system for Boolean algebra , because FindEquationalProof finds a path that proves it. Still, finding such paths is what automated theorem provers do. It’s not simple to do this.

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. To say something more global requires the whole knitting together of “economic space” achieved by all the local transactions in the network. It’s very much like in the emergence of physical space.
