years of my career at Weehawken High School, where I taught Algebra I (students in grades seven to nine) and AP Calculus (grades 11-12). Starting my career at the height of COVID literally altered my brain chemistry as an educator. At Bush, I teach technology applications, computer science and robotics. For the past 1.5

But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. The idea not of solving equations, but instead of setting up computational rules that could be explicitly run to represent and reproduce things in the world. What is that science? But at least it would have a home.

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech.

And so being able to just get some great people at the table, some of the amazing sponsors that we have, and I would say the successes have really been at this point, having students who worked with us, you know, back in 2016 to now see them in college and pursuing computer science. I’m a prospective computer science major there.”

Chemistry / Molecular Biology. In thinking about chemistry we can make a much more concrete multicomputational model: the tokens are actual individual molecules (represented say in terms of bonds) and the events are reactions between them. (As Perhaps not for chemistry as it’s done today. Does this matter, though?
