Recently, five of the eight Ivy League universities have reclassified their economics degrees from social science to science, technology, math, and engineering (STEM). It’s a curriculum that revolves around the idea of educating students in four particular disciplines; mathematics , technology, science, and engineering.

It’s no secret that the exposure of students to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) can positively impact the future of the world and their futures. Engineering can factor in topics such as civil engineering, electronics, and robots. Granted, engineering and technology might seem thrilling.

Mathematics. But in the 1600s came the idea of modeling things with mathematical formulas—in which time enters, but basically just as a coordinate value. From the Industrial Revolution on, we’ve been used to doing engineering where we can in effect “see how the gears mesh” to “understand” how things work.

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”. There’s a big example of this historically, in mathematics. OK, but what about within ChatGPT itself? Well, we don’t know yet.

Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.

That’s the argument of Peter Liljedahl, a professor of mathematics education at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, who has spent years researching what works in teaching.

Line, Surface and Contour Integration “Find the integral of the function ” is a typical core thing one wants to do in calculus. But particularly in applications of calculus, it’s common to want to ask slightly more elaborate questions, like “What’s the integral of over the region ?”, or “What’s the integral of along the line ?”

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). His father ’s university engineering studies had been cut short by the Russian Revolution, and he now had a one-man wholesale electronic parts business. It was all algebra.

And we’ve been steadily doing the engineering to let AIs call on Wolfram Language as easily as possible. So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? Somewhere along the way we built out discrete calculus , asymptotic expansions and integral transforms. And in Version 14 there are significant advances around calculus.

But insofar as we’re only looking at the evaluation of expressions we’ve engineered for particular computational purposes, we’re not yet used to seeing “generic bulk expression evaluation”. A different tradition—originating in mathematics in the late 1800s—involved the routine use of “abstract functions” like f ( x ).

In my Modern Algebra class, which is primarily based on written mathematical proofs, students get two problems a week; they can revise any of these as often as needed, but with a cap of one problem per week. Limit the frequency of reassessments. This approach works well with writing-intensive work.
