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. What Is Computer Science?

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

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.

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

Stephen Wolfram

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (forthcoming) 2. 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. This is part 3 in a 3-part series about the Second Law: 1.

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. But in a quirk of history that I now realize had tremendous significance, I had just spent a couple of years creating a big computer system that was ultimately a direct forerunner of our modern Wolfram Language.

Expression Evaluation and Fundamental Physics

Stephen Wolfram

But some of it has immediate practical implications, notably for parallel, distributed, nondeterministic and quantum-style computing. The key point is that a given event cannot happen unless all the inputs to it are available, i.e. have already been computed. Some of what this will lead us to is deeply abstract.
