Similarly, reformers have focused on the timing of the course, aiming to enroll students as early as possible to open pathways to calculus and to diversify access to higher level mathematics.

There was one major exception, however, in 1738, when—as part of his eclectic mathematical career spanning probability theory, elasticity theory, biostatistics, economics and more— Daniel Bernoulli (1700–1782) published his book on hydrodynamics.

Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. Economics. And this seems likely to be related to the origin of “value” in economics (or perhaps more so to the notion of a numéraire). And quite possibly there’s an analog of this in economic systems.

My argument is that computer science was originally invented to be taught to everyone, but not for economic advantage. Alan Perlis (first ACM Turing Award laureate) made a different argument in his chapter. He argued that you can’t think about integral calculus the same after you learn about computational iteration.

The global structures of metamathematics , economics , linguistics and evolutionary biology seem likely to provide examples—and in each case we can expect that at the core is the ruliad, with its unique structure. But what about other models of computation—like cellular automata or register machines or lambda calculus?

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). Richard Feynman and I would get into very fierce arguments. But suffice it say to that Ed’s old nemesis—calculus—comes in very handy. It’s just my nature.
