Now, this is usually where I would launch into a well-honed set of arguments explicating the various economic, societal, and moral imperatives which make clear the need for America to tackle issues of equity and inclusion through a systemic transformation approach to cultivate a larger and more inclusive STEMM workforce.

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. But in other ways it’s also a cautionary tale, of how the forces of “conventional wisdom” can blind people to unanswered questions and—over a surprisingly long time—inhibit the development of new ideas.

Through evaluating evidence and mapping out arguments, students can practice this important aspect of scientific communication. There are many geopolitical challenges to overcome as well, so the expertise of scientists will need to be included alongside international relations, economics and communication.

Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models. Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. Chemistry / Molecular Biology. There are many.

of what’s now Wolfram Language —we were trying to develop algorithms to compute hundreds of mathematical special functions over very broad ranges of arguments. Back in 1987—as part of building Version 1.0 In the past, people had painstakingly computed series approximations for specific cases. So why does this work? Mostly we don’t know.

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.
