Connecting STEAM Education and Computer Science

Ellipsis Education

In this blog, we take a closer look at the connections between art and STEM (called STEAM education), and we explore how to integrate art into computer science. You may be familiar with the term STEM, which standards for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The same can be said for computer science.

What is Python? Python Programming for Beginners.

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.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

I myself have been using computers and computation to discover things in science for more than four decades now. of what’s now Wolfram Language —we were trying to develop algorithms to compute hundreds of mathematical special functions over very broad ranges of arguments.

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.

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

At the level of individual events, ideas from the theory and practice of computation are useful. Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. But the notion of scanning orders became more prominent through the development of practical algorithms for computers.

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 what if we’re more flexible in what we consider the objective of the demon to be? Why does the Second Law work?
