How can first-year STEM university students be better supported?

Futurum

Library and research skills cover areas such as knowing how to reference and cite authors properly, being able to discern between reliable and unreliable sources of information, accessing scientific literature and giving accurate evidence-based arguments when writing scientific essays and reports. What do students learn from studying this?

Expression Evaluation and Fundamental Physics

Stephen Wolfram

And it’s all based on ideas from our Physics Project —and on a fundamental correspondence between what’s happening at the lowest level in all physical processes and in expression evaluation. But some of it has immediate practical implications, notably for parallel, distributed, nondeterministic and quantum-style computing.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

At a very practical level, for example, LLMs provide a new kind of linguistic interface to the computational capabilities that we’ve spent so long building in the Wolfram Language. But before we get into this, we need to discuss something that looms over any attempt to “solve science”: the phenomenon of computational irreducibility.

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

Stephen Wolfram

We’ve worked very hard to make its design as clean and coherent as possible—and to make it a timeless way to elegantly represent computation and everything that can be described through it. Last Friday I fired up Version 1 on an old Mac SE/30 computer (with 2.5 Last Friday I fired up Version 1 on an old Mac SE/30 computer (with 2.5

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

Stephen Wolfram

And all those years we’ve been continuing to build a taller and taller tower of capabilities, progressively expanding the scope of our vision and the breadth of our computational coverage of the world: Version 1.0 In the arc of intellectual history it defines a broad, new, computational paradigm for formalizing the world.

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

Think of it as the entangled limit of everything that is computationally possible: the result of following all possible computational rules in all possible ways. It’s yet another surprising construct that’s arisen from our Physics Project. In the language of our Physics Project, it’s the ultimate limit of all rulial multiway systems.
