If anything, over the past seven years, my feelings about the centrality of computing in the mathematics major have gotten even more entrenched. First, I know more computer science and computer programming now than I did in 2007. These days the computer plays a front-and-center role in all of my classes.

But what I’ve increasingly been realizing is that actually it’s showing us something even bigger and deeper: a whole fundamentally new paradigm for making models and in general for doing theoretical science. But there remained plenty of phenomena—particularly associated with complexity—that this paradigm seemed to have little to say about.

Since the standard Wolfram Language evaluator evaluates arguments first (“leftmost-innermost evaluation”), it therefore won’t terminate in this case—even though there are branches in the multiway evaluation (corresponding to “outermost evaluation”) that do terminate. As the Version 1.0

Ed was someone who wanted to independently figure things out for himself, and delighted in presenting his often somewhat-outlandish conclusions—whether about technology, science, business or the world—with dramatic showman-like panache. Finally I felt as if there might be a plausible computational foundation for fundamental physics.

My activities in computing education these days are organized around two main projects: Defining computing education for undergraduates in the University of Michigan’s College of Literature, Science, and Arts (see earlier blog post referencing this effort ); Participatory design of Teaspoon languages (mentioned most recently in this blog post ).

The Second Law of thermodynamics is considered one of the great general principles of physical science. Sometimes textbooks will gloss over everything; sometimes they’ll give some kind of “common-sense-but-outside-of-physics argument”. Mechanical work irreversibly turns into heat. It almost seems like it’s going to be “provably true”.
