The course aims to teach a variety of skills, ranging from library and research skills (to ensure students can assess the credibility of what they read and dissect complex texts, such as scientific reports) to study-management skills (such as time and stress management and academic planning). What do the seminars teach students?

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

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,

we’ve been steadily delivering the fruits of our research and development in.1 Then for each function (or other construct in the language) there are pages that explain the function, with extensive examples. One new construct added in Version 13.1 —and of Wolfram Language and Mathematica. 1 releases every six months.

A lot of science—and technology—has been constructed specifically around computationally reducible phenomena. In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. Once again, I had no idea this was “out there”, and certainly I would never have been able to construct it myself.

He was going for what he saw as the big prize: using them to “construct the universe”. Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. And the only conclusion we can arrive at is that a person can’t do this much algebra with the hope of getting it right.” But Ed wasn’t interested.

Those assessments can take on various forms, and in well-constructed courses they do have varying forms, corresponding to different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. But if you were reading a research article and the author used a sample size of n = 1, how would you react? It makes sense as long as you don't think about it.
