Is Computer Science STEM – The Link Between the Two

STEM Education Guide

While the science aspect (chemistry, biology, and physics) and mathematics (calculus and algebra) is a breeze to figure out, the engineering and technology aspects are less straightforward. Nonetheless, defining STEM can be an uphill battle as it’s a popular term with several meanings to many people.

ChatGPT Gets Its “Wolfram Superpowers”!

Stephen Wolfram

But then mathematical notation was invented, and math took off—with the development of algebra, calculus, and eventually all the various mathematical sciences. Wolfram Language has a very open architecture, where a user can add or modify pretty much whatever they want. But what about from the ChatGPT side?

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

Mathematics is normally done at the level of “specific mathematical concepts” (like, say, algebraic equations or hyperbolic geometry)—that are effectively the “populated places” (or “populated reference frames”) of metamathematical space. Imagine for example that one has a neural net with a certain architecture.

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. And Minsky mentioned work a student of his was doing on the “AI problem” of symbolic integration.
