The biases are notably stark if schools are divided out by minority enrollment, as public middle and high schools with more than 50 percent White students have only 2 percent of mathematics teachers and 1 percent of science teachers that are Black ( National Center for Science & Engineering Statistics ).

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

Kristin’s research spans a wide range of applications and theoretical domains, but the one thing they all have in common is temporal logic – that is, an unambiguous, mathematically precise way of describing and reasoning about systems that change over time. FASCINATING FORMAL METHODS. ABOUT TEMPORAL LOGIC.

Quarks are a type of ‘elementary particle’ that cannot be further subdivided. Quarks come in six different types, or ‘flavours’, – up, down, top, bottom, strange and charm – and they are held together by gluons, another type of elementary particle. Programming is vital in many areas of science. WHY IS THIS RESEARCH IMPORTANT?

So, for example, it knows English (a bit like all those corny science fiction aliens…). There’s a big example of this historically, in mathematics. But then mathematical notation was invented, and math took off—with the development of algebra, calculus, and eventually all the various mathematical sciences.

Whether you agree with the theory that mathematics exists for humans to discover or that it is a man-made tool, numeric systems designed to measure the world around us serve as the foundation for scientific and technological advancement.

But what I’ve increasingly been realizing is that actually it’s showing us something even bigger and deeper: a whole fundamentally new paradigm for making models and in general for doing theoretical science. Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models.

And it’s one that I think has extremely deep implications—both in science and beyond. And—it should be said at the outset—we’re still only at the very beginning of nailing down those technical details and setting up the difficult mathematics and formalism they involve.)

In addition to whole courses, we have “miniseries” of lectures about specific topics: And we also have courses —and books—about the Wolfram Language itself, like my Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language , which came out in a third edition this year (and has an associated course, online version, etc.):

Ed was someone who wanted to independently figure things out for himself, and delighted in presenting his often somewhat-outlandish conclusions—whether about technology, science, business or the world—with dramatic showman-like panache. I wrote about this in one chapter of my 2002 book A New Kind of Science.

Several teachers in New York started the effort around a decade ago, and Zearn is now used by a quarter of elementary school students and more than a million middle school students around the country, according to sign-on figures tracked by the group. We believe that it's critical for some kids to be exposed to calculus.

The Second Law of thermodynamics is considered one of the great general principles of physical science. And an important conclusion of a lot of science I did in the 1980s and 1990s is that for many systems—presumably including rule 30—it’s simply not possible to “jump ahead”. Mechanical work irreversibly turns into heat.
