The Math Revolution You Haven’t Heard About

ED Surge

Math professor Martin Weissman is rethinking how his university teaches calculus. Called Math 11 A and B, these classes, which students take as freshmen and sophomores, constitute a “leaky pipeline,” Weissman says. Some educators place a share of the blame on calculus courses, which can push out otherwise interested students.

ED Surge

It was from his dean, who said that the department had inspected their freshman calculus course, “Calculus for Life Sciences.” That call started the years-long process of reworking how the university’s life sciences department teaches math. Unpopular with students, the class didn’t seem to be preparing them for a career in STEM.

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

And one of the stunningly beautiful things—at least for a physicist like me—is that the same phenomenon that in physical space gives us gravity, in branchial space gives us quantum mechanics. It’s because we’re observers like us that we perceive the laws of physics we do. Human minds who think alike are nearby.
