The Math Revolution You Haven’t Heard About

ED Surge

Math professor Martin Weissman is rethinking how his university teaches calculus. Some educators place a share of the blame on calculus courses, which can push out otherwise interested students. Meanwhile, the calculus instruction has to be slowed down enough that it’s not as effective for math people as it could be. “I

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

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?

The Most Underrated Computer Science Career: Quantitative Analysis

STEMe

In short, the stock market is a physical or virtual marketplace in which shares of a company are traded between individuals or companies for monetary value. However, with the development of computers, quantitative analysis became particularly striking as computers could perform calculations millions of times faster than any human.

Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT

Stephen Wolfram

It happened with our Physics Project in 2020. I myself have been deeply involved with the computational paradigm for many decades, in the singular pursuit of building a computational language to represent as many things in the world as possible in formal symbolic ways. ChatGPT and Wolfram|Alpha. I think about things as a human.

Two Main Branches of Mathematics That Kids Need to Learn

STEM Education Guide

Elementary algebra is the most fundamental and the most abstract algebra is modern algebra. Elementary algebra is crucial for the study of engineering, science, medicine, and economics. Elementary algebra is crucial for the study of engineering, science, medicine, and economics. A2 + B2 = (A + B)2 – 2AB. (A

Directions of motion are "toward the detector" and "away from the detector".

Jacobs Physics

A fundamental principle of teaching first year physics students is to never trust a student with a negative sign. AP-level algebraic kinematics is one place where I haven't found a way to avoid a negative sign. The only difference for AP is, eventually they get to computational kinematics with changing direction of motion.
