Another common argument is that homework helps students develop skills related to problem-solving, time-management and self-direction. While it’s likely that homework completion signals student engagement, which in turn leads to academic achievement, there’s little evidence to suggest that homework itself improves engagement in learning.

There’s a public Prompt Repository that so far has several hundred curated prompts. So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? Somewhere along the way we built out discrete calculus , asymptotic expansions and integral transforms. And in Version 14 there are significant advances around calculus.

But in 1798 Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) (1753–1814) measured the heat produced by the mechanical process of boring a cannon, and began to make the argument that, in contradiction to the caloric theory, there was actually some kind of correspondence between mechanical energy and amount of heat.

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). I first met Ed in 1982—on an island in the Caribbean he had bought with money from taking public a tech company he’d founded. Even after Ed left active management of III, he was still its chairman.

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.
