The Role of Mathematics in Education

Ask a Tech Teacher

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?

They Started Teaching During the Pandemic Year. Where Are They Now?

ED Surge

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.

Grading in my Discrete Mathematics class: a 3x3x3 reflection

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

Here's the one from Winter 2021 for calculus and here's the one for modern algebra. This semester I taught two sections of Discrete Structures for Computer Science 1, an entry-level course for Computer Science majors on the mathematical foundations of computing.

Career Exploration: Mathematics

PCS Edventures

Algebra , which incorporates unknown variables into arithmetic equations. Calculus , which calculates rates of change and infinites. Science, technology, engineering and arts careers often rely upon at least one of these math specializations, so jobs with a math focus are often talked about under the other STEAM categories.

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. And the same issue arose for Alonzo Church’s lambda calculus (introduced around 1930).

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

For example, we know (as I discovered in 2000) that (( b · c ) · a ) · ( b · (( b · a ) · b )) = a is the minimal axiom system for Boolean algebra , because FindEquationalProof finds a path that proves it. But what about other models of computation—like cellular automata or register machines or lambda calculus?
