STEM in Science Classrooms – Difference Between Science and Technology

STEM Education Guide

As the country rolled into the 21st century, STEM achievements in the US were behind those in other countries. Science in STEM It encompasses fields such as geology, chemistry, physics, biology, and astronomy. The institution began to ramp up programs in support of STEM subjects in a boatload of American schools.

Zero-g and Me

The Blog of Phyz

I am still waiting for that day but I have traveled into the stratosphere aboard NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). I put a lot of effort into helping my students understand free fall during my physics teaching career. I was excited about teaching it when I became a high school physics teacher.

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.

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. But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century.

Examining the extremely small

Futurum

A nanometre (nm) is a unit of measurement equal to a billionth of a metre, or 0.000001 mm. Nanoscientists manipulate materials at the atomic and molecular level, and thus nanoscience merges physics, chemistry, materials science and biology,” explains Susanne. How small are things at the nanoscale?

The power of geographic information systems: bringing data to life with maps

Futurum

The application has since been taken up by lots of agencies, including the Council for Environmental Equality at the White House. I was especially interested in meteorology and astronomy – I love everything to do with the sky and weather. When I was younger, I always loved math and science.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

we’ve done something else too: we’ve started creating explicit symbolic modeling frameworks for particular kinds of physical systems that can be modeled with PDEs. And now we can for example find the maximum 3, 3 component of the strain tensor and the position where it’s achieved: &#10005. But starting in Version 12.2 &#10005.
