The Math Revolution You Haven’t Heard About

ED Surge

Over the summer, the professor from the University of California at Santa Cruz, spent a week at Harvard to learn how to redesign the mathematics for life sciences courses his institution offers. A room of educators gets schooled on the rigors of mathematical modeling in the life sciences. It left an impression.

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

Mathematics. And in our century there’s a new and yet more powerful one: computation. And for nearly 50 years I’ve had the great privilege of building an ever taller tower of science and technology based on that idea of computation. We’ve seen the growth of computer science—CS. But how is that rule picked?

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

Stephen Wolfram

Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.
