Students Are Busy but Rarely Thinking, Researcher Argues. Do His Teaching Strategies Work Better?

ED Surge

These are the students who end up hitting a wall when math courses move from easier algebra to more advanced concepts in, say, calculus, he argues. “At He argues that that’s why so many students get to college and have to repeat their first-year calculus course. At some point, mimicking runs out,” says Liljedahl. This is human nature.

They developed a ‘peeling technique’, whereby the electronic components are constructed on conventional fabrication substrates that can withstand high temperatures and corrosive chemicals but can then be thinly peeled off and transferred elsewhere.

ChatGPT Gets Its “Wolfram Superpowers”!

Stephen Wolfram

But then mathematical notation was invented, and math took off—with the development of algebra, calculus, and eventually all the various mathematical sciences. Back before about 500 years ago, pretty much the only way to “express math” was in natural language.

Can we unlock the secrets hidden deep within the nucleus of an atom?

Futurum

The construction of the EIC will offer nuclear physicists the chance to advance their research. Develop these by taking classes such as mathematics, calculus and programming. In the meantime, Daniel’s next steps involve creating more complex models that can account for phenomena such as gluon radiation. .

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Then for each function (or other construct in the language) there are pages that explain the function, with extensive examples. So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? Somewhere along the way we built out discrete calculus , asymptotic expansions and integral transforms. But even now there are still frontiers.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Line, Surface and Contour Integration “Find the integral of the function ” is a typical core thing one wants to do in calculus. But particularly in applications of calculus, it’s common to want to ask slightly more elaborate questions, like “What’s the integral of over the region ?”, or “What’s the integral of along the line ?”

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

Stephen Wolfram

we have a new symbolic construct, Threaded , that effectively allows you to easily generalize listability. Why is such a construct needed? 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).
