Is Computer Science STEM – The Link Between the Two

STEM Education Guide

It’s no secret that the exposure of students to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) can positively impact the future of the world and their futures. However, one thing that’s often overlooked is computer science education, an incredibly essential subject and skill in today’s digital era.

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

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

And at first I did so in the main scientific paradigm I knew : models based on mathematics and mathematical equations. From mathematics. Mathematical physics. Computation theory. By the late 1970s, though, there were other initiatives emerging, particularly coming from mathematics and mathematical physics.

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.

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

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 it was agreed that we would do it.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

How does one tie all this down with rigorous, mathematical-style proofs? But having seen that the core phenomenon of the Second Law can be reduced to an essentially purely computational statement, we’re now in a position to examine this in a different—and I think ultimately very clarifying—way. Well, it’s difficult.
