Students Are Busy but Rarely Thinking, Researcher Argues. Do His Teaching Strategies Work Better?

ED Surge

That’s the argument of Peter Liljedahl, a professor of mathematics education at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, who has spent years researching what works in teaching. These are the students who end up hitting a wall when math courses move from easier algebra to more advanced concepts in, say, calculus, he argues. “At

Can we unlock the secrets hidden deep within the nucleus of an atom?

Futurum

Daniel’s research lies within the field of high-energy nuclear physics, which investigates how parton interactions and motions influence the internal structure of hadrons. One of the main aims of his research is to determine the source of the proton’s spin. WHY IS THIS RESEARCH IMPORTANT? FIELD OF RESEARCH : Nuclear Physics.

ChatGPT Gets Its “Wolfram Superpowers”!

Stephen Wolfram

The whole process of “prompt engineering” feels a bit like animal wrangling: you’re trying to get ChatGPT to do what you want, but it’s hard to know just what it will take to achieve that. In the past, one might have tried to achieve this “by hand” by starting with “boilerplate” pieces, then modifying them, “gluing” them together, etc.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

we’ve been steadily delivering the fruits of our research and development in.1 So many discoveries, so many inventions, so much achieved, so much learned. Then for each function (or other construct in the language) there are pages that explain the function, with extensive examples. of Wolfram Language and Mathematica.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

too—delivering the latest from our long-term research and development pipeline. Across the 35 years since Version 1 we’ve been able to continue accelerating our research and development process, year by year building on the functionality and automation we’ve created. But while LLMs are “the biggest single story” in Version 13.3,

Numbers and networks: how can we use mathematics to assess the resilience of global supply chains?

Futurum

Mathematically, these records make it fairly easy to construct a supply chain network,” says Zach. I am also interested in bringing more researchers from diverse fields together in this discussion,” says Zach. FIELD OF RESEARCH: Mathematics. There are many branches of maths, including algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

And so it was that in 1985 I began to promote the idea of a new field of “complex systems research”, or, for short “complexity”—fueled by the discoveries I’d made about things like cellular automata. So what became of the “complex systems research” I championed in 1985? And I set about applying what I knew to complex systems research.
