The Math Revolution You Haven’t Heard About

ED Surge

Math professor Martin Weissman is rethinking how his university teaches calculus. Over the summer, the professor from the University of California at Santa Cruz, spent a week at Harvard to learn how to redesign the mathematics for life sciences courses his institution offers. CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

Two Main Branches of Mathematics That Kids Need to Learn

STEM Education Guide

Elementary algebra is crucial for the study of engineering, science, medicine, and economics. Calculus calculates the immediate rates of change and is used for infinite series, derivatives, limits, integrals, and functions. Check out this book for middle schoolers to get a better hold on calculus. Computation.

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

It’s a new paradigm—that actually seems to unlock things not only in fundamental physics, but also in the foundations of mathematics and computer science , and possibly in areas like biology and economics too. You know, I talked about building up the universe by repeatedly applying a computational rule.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

It wasn’t long before I realized something fundamental: that this was at its core a computational phenomenon. But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. It’s important, by the way, to distinguish this from computer science.

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

Stephen Wolfram

But among the examples I’ve at least begun to investigate are metamathematics, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, molecular computing, neuroscience, machine learning, immunology, linguistics, economics and distributed computing. Chemistry / Molecular Biology. Evolutionary Biology.

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

The global structures of metamathematics , economics , linguistics and evolutionary biology seem likely to provide examples—and in each case we can expect that at the core is the ruliad, with its unique structure. But what about other models of computation—like cellular automata or register machines or lambda calculus?
