STEM Education Guide

MARCH 9, 2023

STEM, an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, is an essential component of the educational experience. Although it can merge with other fields such as engineering, technology is generally used to describe computer-related jobs. Software engineers come up with new systems and programs.

But it’s also got some “surprise” new dramatic efficiency improvements, and it’s got some first hints of major new areas that we have under development—particularly related to astronomy and celestial mechanics. Relativity also isn’t important in geography, but it is in astronomy. Introducing Astro Computation. Dates are complicated.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. There had been precursors of steam engines even in antiquity, but it was only in 1712 that the first practical steam engine was developed. Lazare Carnot died in 1823.

The computer is a tool for studying mathematical ideas in the same sense that a microscope is for studying biology and a telescope is for studying astronomy. Can anyone seriously imagine banning microscope technology from the biology major, on the argument that biology is a more pure discipline without the technology?

And we’ve been steadily doing the engineering to let AIs call on Wolfram Language as easily as possible. The function Map takes a function f and “maps it” over a list: Comap does the “mathematically co-” version of this, taking a list of functions and “comapping” them onto a single argument: Why is this useful? is PositionSmallest.

And, yes, when you try to run the function, it’ll notice it doesn’t have correct arguments and options specified. Digital Twins: Fitting System Models to Data It’s been five years since we first began to introduce industrial-scale systems engineering capabilities in the Wolfram Language. And now in Version 13.3

You can give Threaded as an argument to any listable function, not just Plus and Times : &#10005. we’re adding SymmetricDifference : find elements that (in the 2-argument case) are in one list or the other, but not both. If one’s doing something like astronomy, this kind of “physical” date computation is probably what one wants.
