A number of instructors say it’s partly reconsidering how calculus, a crucial step toward STEM careers and often a “weed out” course in higher ed, is taught. Noticing this, EdSurge traveled to Harvard this summer to observe one attempt at a more subtle revolution, meant to bring calculus instruction into the 21st century. That was it.

Organic chemistry , anyone?) The project, funded from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and housed at Educause, prioritizes 20 key gateway courses, including introductory classes in biology, chemistry, English, economics and psychology, as well as math classes like algebra and calculus, and U.S. history surveys.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. There’s lots of rhetoric: The applicability of the calculus of probabilities to a particular case can of course never be proved with precision.

But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. For three centuries theoretical models had been based on the fairly narrow set of constructs provided by mathematical equations, and particularly calculus. Yes, it might have to take on the methodology of its “host” area.

But among the examples I’ve at least begun to investigate are metamathematics, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, molecular computing, neuroscience, machine learning, immunology, linguistics, economics and distributed computing. Chemistry / Molecular Biology. Perhaps not for chemistry as it’s done today. Economics.
