Building a specifications grading course, part 2

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

This is the second part of a two-parter where I am going into detail about how the grading system in my current course, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, is set up. The first part, where I described the big picture of the course, its learning objectives, and what a "C" and "A" semester grade should mean, is here.

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

Stephen Wolfram

we added algebraic numbers (represented implicitly by Root )—and a dozen years later we added algebraic number fields and transcendental roots. And here again we’re always making progress, sometimes integrating newly available large-scale secondary data sources, and sometimes doing direct curation ourselves from primary sources.

Twenty Years Later: The Surprising Greater Implications of A New Kind of Science

Stephen Wolfram

Beyond physics and metamathematics, there seems to be near-term promise in chemistry , molecular biology , evolutionary biology , neuroscience , immunology , linguistics , economics , machine learning , distributed computing and more. In traditional chemistry, things like this generally aren’t “observed”.

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

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. Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. And he says “There’s a problem.
