Prototyping the STEMM K-12 Teachers of 2042 – Is It Possible?

National Science Foundation

Now, this is usually where I would launch into a well-honed set of arguments explicating the various economic, societal, and moral imperatives which make clear the need for America to tackle issues of equity and inclusion through a systemic transformation approach to cultivate a larger and more inclusive STEMM workforce.

How Are Some Districts Connecting Standards-Based Grading to NGSS/WSS? (Part 2 of series)

Wisconsin Science and STEM Education

Supports conclusions with logical arguments. Supports conclusions with logical arguments. Like Waukesha, Poynette has clear connections to literacy and mathematics, particularly seen in the elementary focus on data and supporting conclusions. Demonstrates understanding of science concepts. Grades 4-5 1. Grades 6-8 1.

A 50-Year Quest: My Personal Journey with the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

And as a kind of graduation gift when I finished (British) elementary school in June 1972 I arranged to get those books. I’d started by considering only “elementary” cellular automata , in one dimension, with k = 2 colors, and with rules of range r = 1. There are 256 such “elementary rules”. code 10)”.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

My first big success came in 1981 when I decided to try enumerating all possible rules of a certain kind (elementary cellular automata) and then ran them on a computer to see what they did: I’d assumed that with simple underlying rules, the final behavior would be correspondingly simple. Back in 1987—as part of building Version 1.0

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

Stephen Wolfram

In addition to whole courses, we have “miniseries” of lectures about specific topics: And we also have courses —and books—about the Wolfram Language itself, like my Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language , which came out in a third edition this year (and has an associated course, online version, etc.): is PositionSmallest.

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

Stephen Wolfram

Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. In physics, those “topological phenomena” presumably correspond to things like elementary particles , with all their various elaborate symmetries. Chemistry / Molecular Biology.
