Controlling and engineering systems for the benefit of all

Futurum

Zi-Qiang suggests students take as many maths courses as possible, as well as one or two other science subjects, such as physics, chemistry or biology. • UD: The versatility of automatic control systems was the major inspiration because the course enables you to fit into any professional field, whether science, engineering or finance.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It’s Complicated…

Stephen Wolfram

One of them is that one can expect to make something equally computationally sophisticated out of all sorts of different kinds of things—whether brain tissue or electronics, or some system in nature. But it also highlights how significant our specifics—our particular history, biology, etc.—are. This equivalence has many consequences.

Lessons Learned from Running a Scholarship Program for Undergraduate Pre-Service STEM Teachers

National Science Foundation

Since 2013, we have led the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Track 1 Montclair State University Noyce Science Teacher Scholarship program ( DUE #1339956 ), which has supported the preparation of 33 biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and (in our final year) mathematics teacher candidates as well.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Of course, it could be that all “reasonable proteins” that normally appear in biology could have certain features, and it could be “unfair” to apply the neural net to “unbiological” random ones—though for example in the adaptive immune system, biology does effectively generate at least short “random proteins”.) So why does this work?
