STEM in Science Classrooms – Difference Between Science and Technology

STEM Education Guide

STEM, an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, is an essential component of the educational experience. As the country rolled into the 21st century, STEM achievements in the US were behind those in other countries. In turn, the NSF came up with solutions to boost STEM programs in schools.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.

Launching Version 13.1 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica ??????

Stephen Wolfram

And for the past four years I’ve been sharing the “behind the scenes” of how it’s achieved—by livestreaming our Wolfram Language design review meetings. You can give Threaded as an argument to any listable function, not just Plus and Times : &#10005. And that’s finally been achieved in Version 13.1. In designing Version 13.1

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. They’re mathematically more complex, but each one we successfully cover makes a new collection of problems accessible to exact solution and reliable numerical and symbolic computation. or “What’s the integral of along the line ?” But now in Version 13.3

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.

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. We released Version 12.2 on December 16, 2020.
