9 Good Collections of Videos for Education

Ask a Tech Teacher

Bitsize is the BBC’s collection of free short videos and lessons (they’re all bite-sized) on over fifty subjects taught in Primary or Secondary education. Topics include languages, music, technology, social studies, science, engineering, maths, journalism, and more. It has become the largest STEM video library of its kind.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. It’s worth mentioning, by the way, that while the three-body problem does show sensitive dependence on initial conditions , that’s not the primary issue here; rather, it’s the actual intrinsic complexity of the trajectories.)

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

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. In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech.

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

But then—basically starting in the early 1980s—there was a burst of progress based on a new idea (of which, yes, I seem to have ultimately been the primary initiator): the idea of using simple programs , rather than mathematical equations, as the basis for models of things in nature and elsewhere.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And we’ve been steadily doing the engineering to let AIs call on Wolfram Language as easily as possible. we added algebraic numbers (represented implicitly by Root )—and a dozen years later we added algebraic number fields and transcendental roots. And now that’s what the AIs can use as well. In Version 3.0 But in Version 14.0
