What should mathematics majors know about computing, and when should they know it?

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

Yesterday I got an email from a reader who had read this post called What should math majors know about computing? My students are using Geogebra , Wolfram|Alpha , and Excel every week in Calculus; LaTeX in my proof-oriented classes; Mathematica in my linear algebra and Calculus 3 classes; and so on.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Line, Surface and Contour Integration “Find the integral of the function ” is a typical core thing one wants to do in calculus. But particularly in applications of calculus, it’s common to want to ask slightly more elaborate questions, like “What’s the integral of over the region ?”, or “What’s the integral of along the line ?”

Launching Version 13.1 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica ??????

Stephen Wolfram

Needless to say, you can do this computationally—though the “calculus” of what’s been defined so far in Unicode is fairly bizarre: &#10005. brings up a palette for math typesetting. lets you enter that will be converted to Wolfram Language math typesetting. and are still in the toolbar for inserting math into a text cell.

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

Stephen Wolfram

He’s writing a paper, he says, basically to clarify the Second Law, (or, as he calls it, “the second fundamental theorem”—rather confidently asserting that he will “prove this theorem”): Part of the issue he’s trying to address is how the calculus is done: The partial derivative symbol ∂ had been introduced in the late 1700s.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

When you do operations on Around numbers the “errors” are combined using a certain calculus of errors that’s effectively based on Gaussian distributions—and the results you get are always in some sense statistical. As Well As Lots of Other Math… As in every new version of the Wolfram Language , Version 13.0 1/(24 60 60+1.).
