Equity and Access in Math Education

ED Surge

Historically, underserved communities of Black and Latino students experiencing poverty underperform in mathematics as measured by various academic indicators. There is no doubt that nearly two years of remote learning resulted in the loss of learning in all disciplines, particularly in mathematics.

Don’t Give Up on Algebra: Let’s Shift the Focus to Instruction

National Science Foundation

In its current form, school algebra serves as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics. Researchers and policy makers have pushed to open that gate—providing more students access to algebra, focusing in particular on those students historically denied access to higher-level mathematics. Domina et al., 2017; Stein et al.,

How Inevitable Is the Concept of Numbers?

Stephen Wolfram

Fast numbers-based ways to do particular computations are often viewed as representing “ exact solutions ” to corresponding mathematical problems. Still, there is in a sense one other kind of computational reducibility that we do know about, and that’s been very widely used in mathematical science: the phenomenon of continuity.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. And that’s for example why things like mathematical formulas have been able to be as successful in science as they have. In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be.

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

And—it should be said at the outset—we’re still only at the very beginning of nailing down those technical details and setting up the difficult mathematics and formalism they involve.) For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality. For hypergraphs, it’s isomorphism. Experiencing the Ruliad.
