They Started Teaching During the Pandemic Year. Where Are They Now?

ED Surge

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). I hope in a similar manner, my impact extends beyond [sharpening] mathematical understanding to [supporting students in] how to be productive, kind, discerning humans in our world. For the past 1.5

Why Should You Consider STEM Programs for High School Students?

STEM Education Guide

Nearly all facets of life depend on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. As an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, stem education is essential as it permeates every aspect of your life. If you’re wondering whether students should enroll in STEM programs for high school, the short answer is yes.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But by the end of the 1800s, with the existence of molecules increasingly firmly established, the Second Law began to often be treated as an almost-mathematically-proven necessary law of physics. There were still mathematical loose ends, as well as issues such as its application to living systems and to systems involving gravity.

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

Stephen Wolfram

Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.

Launching Version 13.1 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica ??????

Stephen Wolfram

Now “characters” could be 16-bit constructs, with nearly 65536 possible “glyphs” allocated across different languages and uses (including some mathematical symbols that we introduced). Needless to say, you can do this computationally—though the “calculus” of what’s been defined so far in Unicode is fairly bizarre: &#10005.
