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.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century.

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.

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. Unless we can connect what’s in the formulas with things we know about (whether in number theory or economics) it’ll usually be difficult to conclude much from them.

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. He ended up spending time working various jobs to support himself, didn’t do much homework, and by his sophomore year—before having to pick a major—dropped out.
