The Role of Mathematics in Education: What Professions You Can Get in the Future Have you ever found yourself pondering the real-world applications of those algebraic formulas or geometric theorems you spent hours trying to decipher in school? But what makes mathematics the lingua franca of computer science?

And in our century there’s a new and yet more powerful one: computation. And for nearly 50 years I’ve had the great privilege of building an ever taller tower of science and technology based on that idea of computation. And I ended that talk with a question: is computation ultimately what’s underneath everything in our universe?

And indeed one of the great achievements of our civilization over the past several centuries has been to build up the paradigms of mathematics, the exact sciences—and, most importantly, now computation—and to create a tower of capabilities quite different from what pure human-like thinking can achieve. I think about things as a human.

Thanks to some heroic software engineering by our team and by OpenAI , ChatGPT can now call on Wolfram|Alpha—and Wolfram Language as well—to give it what we might think of as “computational superpowers”. But what can one do when that conversation has actual computation and computational knowledge in it? But there’s more too.

However, in the last decade, the capabilities of artificial intelligence have been expanding at break-neck speed. ALGORITHM – a sequence of well-defined rules that allows computers to make calculations and solve problems. For example, RL has been used to train computers to play Atari arcade games, such as Space Invaders.

There are many branches of maths, including algebra, geometry, calculus and statistics. These include stock market analysis, artificial intelligence, supply chain optimisation and medical engineering, but mathematicians can end up working anywhere! • ABOUT MATHEMATICS. Math really is everywhere!” says Zach. “If

And there was one way in which Ed and I were very much aligned: both of our lives were deeply influenced by computers and computing. Ed had started with computers in 1956—as part of one of the very first cohorts of programmers. Finally I felt as if there might be a plausible computational foundation for fundamental physics.
