National Science Foundation

In its current form, school algebra serves as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics. Researchers and policy makers have pushed to open that gate—providing more students access to algebra, focusing in particular on those students historically denied access to higher-level mathematics. Let’s Not Be So Quick to Give Up on Algebra.

ChatGPT Gets Its “Wolfram Superpowers”!

Stephen Wolfram

And in the end, as we’ll discuss later, that’s a more flexible and powerful way to communicate. But then mathematical notation was invented, and math took off—with the development of algebra, calculus, and eventually all the various mathematical sciences. But it doesn’t work unless the Wolfram Language code is exactly right.
