Ellipsis Education

This popular and professionally applicable language will help students advance in their computer science journeys. There is no implicit conversion between types like strings and integers - a string would be an invalid argument if passed to a mathematical function that expects a number. Glad you asked… because there are a lot.

The Physicalization of Metamathematics and Its Implications for the Foundations of Mathematics

Stephen Wolfram

One can view a symbolic expression such as f[g[x][y, h[z]], w] as a hierarchical or tree structure , in which at every level some particular “head” (like f ) is “applied to” one or more arguments. and zero arguments: α[ ]. From a computer science perspective, we can think of it as being like a type hierarchy.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

Sometimes textbooks will gloss over everything; sometimes they’ll give some kind of “common-sense-but-outside-of-physics argument”. This argument is quite rough, but it captures the essence of what’s going on. But one never quite gets there ; it always seems to need something extra. Why does the Second Law work?
