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?

Math professor Martin Weissman is rethinking how his university teaches calculus. Over the summer, the professor from the University of California at Santa Cruz, spent a week at Harvard to learn how to redesign the mathematics for life sciences courses his institution offers. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. The solution?

It’s a new paradigm—that actually seems to unlock things not only in fundamental physics, but also in the foundations of mathematics and computer science , and possibly in areas like biology and economics too. You know, I talked about building up the universe by repeatedly applying a computational rule.

But among the examples I’ve at least begun to investigate are metamathematics, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, molecular computing, neuroscience, machine learning, immunology, linguistics, economics and distributed computing. Economics. And quite possibly there’s an analog of this in economic systems.

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). “Lick” Licklider —who persuaded Ed to join BBN to “teach them about computers”. Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra.
