And so, after I returned back to Madison, I was in a conversation with a former elementary school principal at Fulton Elementary. “Miss Winnie, I tried to sign up for AP calculus and my counselor told me that, you know, she asked me ‘Are you sure you want to take that?'” ” How do you come?

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

In physics, those “topological phenomena” presumably correspond to things like elementary particles , with all their various elaborate symmetries. Ultimately one wants to see how the structure and behavior of the system can be broken down into elementary “tokens” and “events”. One is so-called Böhm trees.

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). But suffice it say to that Ed’s old nemesis—calculus—comes in very handy. It’s actually a nice application for calculus. The details are a bit complicated—and I’ve put them in an appendix below.
