Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.

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

Thinking Flexibly. The result is a compelling argument that education is less a data download and more a fitness program for our brains. Thinking Flexibly. ‘Thinking flexibly’ is inherent to many of the IB learner attitudes, especially cooperation, respect, and tolerance. Managing impulsivity. Persisting.

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.

Academic enrichment in mathematics instruction could be prompting students with open-ended questions that don’t have a single right solution. When confronted with real-world math problems with multiple answers, students will be able to think more creatively and flexibly. How Can Academic Enrichment Boost Student Success?

Sometimes textbooks will gloss over everything; sometimes they’ll give some kind of “common-sense-but-outside-of-physics argument”. How does one tie all this down with rigorous, mathematical-style proofs? But one never quite gets there ; it always seems to need something extra. But the mystery of the Second Law has never gone away.
