We plan to launch our Physics of the Universe (POTU) course in 2021-22. Physics of the Universe is the physics portion of the three-course model for Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) implementation. California is where I live and work; Rio Americano High School is where I've taught physics since 1986.

At the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg in the US, biologists Barbara Barnhart and Dr Olivia Long are using their Science Seminar programme to ease this transition for first year students studying biology, chemistry and biochemistry degrees. The future of science lies in embracing diversity and ensuring equal opportunities for all.

LIGHT-YEAR – the distance travelled by light in one year (equal to ~9,000,000,000,000 km). I liked all kinds of science when I was at school – biology, chemistry, physics. I was used to solving maths, physics, and chemistry problems, but they were invariably problems that someone had set and, therefore, knew the answer to.

A key idea—ultimately supported at a foundational level by our Physics Project —is that we can think of everything that happens as a computational process. In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. Imagine we’re studying some physical process.

Any integral of an algebraic function can in principle be done in terms of our general DifferentialRoot objects. Turning from calculus to algebra, we’ve added the function PolynomialSumOfSquaresList that provides a kind of “certificate of positivity” for a multivariate polynomial. And a third of a century later—in Version 13.0—we’re
