A number of instructors say it’s partly reconsidering how calculus, a crucial step toward STEM careers and often a “weed out” course in higher ed, is taught. Noticing this, EdSurge traveled to Harvard this summer to observe one attempt at a more subtle revolution, meant to bring calculus instruction into the 21st century.

Relativity also isn’t important in geography, but it is in astronomy. Almost any algebraic computation ends up somehow involving polynomials. can be manipulated as an algebraic number, but with minimal polynomial: &#10005. Calculus & Its Generalizations. Is there still more to do in calculus? &#10005.

But what is the “geography” of this space? So how about logic, or, more specifically Boolean algebra ? The axiom system we’ve used for Boolean algebra here is by no means the only possible one. We’ve looked at axioms for group theory and for Boolean algebra. &#10005. and Not ) is: &#10005. &#10005.

All sorts of (often ornate) formalism was developed in mathematical logic, with combinators arriving in 1920 , and lambda calculus in 1935. Some of those transformations effectively incorporate “factual knowledge” (like knowledge of mathematics, or chemistry, or geography).
