Nowadays, a mathematics study from the basics to advanced levels that contribute to technology, medicine, engineering, and more. Elementary algebra is crucial for the study of engineering, science, medicine, and economics. Check out this book for middle schoolers to get a better hold on calculus. Number Theory.

It’s a new paradigm—that actually seems to unlock things not only in fundamental physics, but also in the foundations of mathematics and computer science , and possibly in areas like biology and economics too. You know, I talked about building up the universe by repeatedly applying a computational rule. But how is that rule picked?

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. There had been precursors of steam engines even in antiquity, but it was only in 1712 that the first practical steam engine was developed.

Thanks to some heroic software engineering by our team and by OpenAI , ChatGPT can now call on Wolfram|Alpha—and Wolfram Language as well—to give it what we might think of as “computational superpowers”. What kind of prompt engineering should you do to best interact with the Wolfram plugin? OK, but what about within ChatGPT itself?

And in general to achieve a “ pathological result ” we’ll typically have to “reverse engineer” the underlying computational irreducibility of the system—which we won’t be able to do with a reference frame constructed by a computationally bounded observer. Economics. And quite possibly there’s an analog of this in economic systems.

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). His father ’s university engineering studies had been cut short by the Russian Revolution, and he now had a one-man wholesale electronic parts business.

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.
