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.

Published: At Furman University in the US, Dr Ben Haywood and Professor Julia Parrish from the University of Washington are studying how citizen science programmes impact the relationships participants have with the places and ecology they study which might, in turn, increase scientific literacy. Why is citizen science important?

I have yet to find or figure out a standards-based grading (SBG) system that I feel fully aligns to the intent of the NGSS (or, by extension, the Wisconsin Standards for Science - WSS). Generally, the first target relates to evidence-based expla nations and literacy skills within science. Supports conclusions with logical arguments.

Dr Craig Nitschke of the University of Melbourne uses plant science and sophisticated computer modelling to study how the distribution of tree species in Australia could evolve as the climate changes. Simulation and statistical models (SSMs) are types of mathematical models used in ecology.

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. If you set , then you set , you should get (not ) if you asked for.

Statistical Mechanics and Simple Programs Back in 1973 I never really managed to do much science on the very first computer I used. And finally I gave what the 22-year-old me thought at the time was the most plausible explanation: All of this was in a sense rooted in a traditional mathematical physics style of thinking.

And in the past few months we’ve been steadily adding connections to the full range of popular LLMs, making Wolfram Language a unique hub not only for LLM usage, but also for studying the performance—and science—of LLMs. You need to be able to easily define mathematically complicated boundary conditions. are Comap and ComapApply.

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”. How does one tie all this down with rigorous, mathematical-style proofs?

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. I wrote about this in one chapter of my 2002 book A New Kind of Science.

Version 1 of Mathematica was billed as “A System for Doing Mathematics by Computer” , and—for more than three decades—in every new version of Wolfram Language and Mathematica there’ve been innovations in “doing mathematics by computer”. Sometimes the result involves explicit mathematical functions: &#10005. For Version 12.3
