I’m not talking about people choosing not to study calculus. In a particularly jarring study by Sian Beilock, girls in first and second grade classrooms with female teachers high in math anxiety had lower achievement in math and held more stereotyped beliefs about girls' abilities.

This meant I was consistently rewarded at school for putting my head down and striving to be a “good student” and “high achiever,” but never for challenging authority or speaking up when something was wrong. Do I have the time and energy right now? I broke that mold on the day that a substitute lecturer addressed my Ph.D.

He was full of joy and energy his entire life. He saw untapped potential in his students and set a goal of teaching the first AP Calculus class at the school. However, both failing at and achieving a difficult task can produce good outcomes. My father recently died at 88 years old. Mr. Escalante was a math teacher at James A.

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. By 1807 the term “energy” had been introduced, but the question remained of whether it could in any sense globally be thought of as conserved. But in plenty of situations it wasn’t.

And the Second Law assertion that energy associated with systematic mechanical work tends to “degrade into heat” then corresponds to the fact that when there’s computational irreducibility the behavior that’s generated is something we can’t readily “computationally see through”—so that it appears random to us. But there’s even further to go.

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. These high-energy collisions are conducted in huge particle accelerators, several miles in circumference, that can accelerate protons close to the speed of light.

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. And that’s finally been achieved in Version 13.1. Now we can use the path function to make a “spiralling” tour video: College Calculus. In designing Version 13.1 ✕.
