My argument is that computer science was originally invented to be taught to everyone, but not for economic advantage. Forsythe argued (in a 1968 article) that the most valuable parts of a scientific or technical education were facility with natural language, mathematics, and computer science. It was an amazing event.

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.

You can give Threaded as an argument to any listable function, not just Plus and Times : ✕. we’re adding SymmetricDifference : find elements that (in the 2-argument case) are in one list or the other, but not both. How should we then multiply each element by {1,-1} ? We could do this with: ✕. In Version 13.1

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.

An argument for traditional grading goes like this: Sure, a single assessment might have a grade on it that doesn't accurately reflect student understanding. It’s a legitimate concern; but this can be addressed through mindful course design (see the next section) and regular communication. A misplaced trust in statistics.

Line, Surface and Contour Integration “Find the integral of the function ” is a typical core thing one wants to do in calculus. But particularly in applications of calculus, it’s common to want to ask slightly more elaborate questions, like “What’s the integral of over the region ?”, or “What’s the integral of along the line ?”
