However, one thing that’s often overlooked is computer science education, an incredibly essential subject and skill in today’s digital era. 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.

years of my career at Weehawken High School, where I taught Algebra I (students in grades seven to nine) and AP Calculus (grades 11-12). years, I have been teaching Algebra I and geometry for grades nine and 10 at Becton Regional High School. At Bush, I teach technology applications, computer science and robotics.

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. Chemistry / Molecular Biology. Perhaps not for chemistry as it’s done today.

Such abstract functions could be used both “symbolically” to represent things, and explicitly to “compute” things. All sorts of (often ornate) formalism was developed in mathematical logic, with combinators arriving in 1920 , and lambda calculus in 1935.

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). In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. It was all algebra.
