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. There are math requirements for those majors.

UCLA Life Sciences Revamped How It Teaches Math. Is It an Example Others Should Follow?

ED Surge

That call started the years-long process of reworking how the university’s life sciences department teaches math. This ultimately led to a new introductory life sciences math course, Mathematics for Life Sciences (the LS 30 series). But in the end, the results almost beggared belief, according to those at the college.

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

Mathematics. 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. These are all ways to formalize the world.
