Connecting STEAM Education and Computer Science

Ellipsis Education

You may be familiar with the term STEM, which standards for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) use creative processes to observe, interpret, and analyze the world around us. Primary Elementary. But what does STEAM stand for? Tran et al, 2021).

Plant polymers as plastic alternatives

Futurum

With these lessons learnt, the team is now setting up a company which will have the resources and flexibility to work with other companies on short timescales. One of the primary tasks for me is to order necessary supplies for the lab and maintain an organised inventory system to prevent any delays in research activities.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. And that’s for example why things like mathematical formulas have been able to be as successful in science as they have. Yes, there can be a lot of flexibility in this model. There’s a curious historical resonance to all this.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

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.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

The function Map takes a function f and “maps it” over a list: Comap does the “mathematically co-” version of this, taking a list of functions and “comapping” them onto a single argument: Why is this useful? You need to be able to easily define mathematically complicated boundary conditions. are Comap and ComapApply.

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

Stephen Wolfram

Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.
