Is Computer Science STEM – The Link Between the Two

STEM Education Guide

While the science aspect (chemistry, biology, and physics) and mathematics (calculus and algebra) is a breeze to figure out, the engineering and technology aspects are less straightforward. The skills coupled with critical thinking are taught in these subjects.

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram

It’s not obvious that it would be feasible to find the path of the steepest descent on the “weight landscape” But calculus comes to the rescue. It turns out that the chain rule of calculus in effect lets us “unravel” the operations done by successive layers in the neural net. There are several key parts.

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

Stephen Wolfram

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). He said that in the early 1960s John Cocke had stolen the idea of RISC architecture from his murdered friend Ben Gurley, though it had taken him two decades to get it taken seriously.
