Contending with the Unintended Consequences of History: Revisiting Brown v. Board of Education and the Need for Systemic Change in K-12 Education

National Science Foundation

Figure 1 illustrates the differences in access to STEM courses between schools with low enrollments of Black and Hispanic students versus those with high enrollments, with the most notable gaps existing in advanced mathematics, calculus, and computer science. These goals, much closer at hand than the next 140 th year celebration of Brown v.

Why Choose a STEM Career?

CTE Learning

With STEM, customary gender roles are broken, and it gives way to equality in every possible way. Hospitals, governments, newsrooms, homes, and other workplaces depend on technology to communicate and run operations efficiently. They will collect information from clients, students, parents, government agencies, or other companies.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

In 1845 Kelvin (as we’ll call him) had spent some time in Paris (primarily at at a lab that was measuring properties of steam for the French government), and there he’d learned about Carnot’s work from Clapeyron’s paper (at first he couldn’t get a copy of Carnot’s actual book). But first we have to go back a bit in the story.

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But there’s really just one principle that governs all these things: that whatever method we have to prepare or analyze states of a system is somehow computationally bounded. This isn’t as such a statement of physics. Rather, it’s a general statement about observers , or, more specifically, observers like us.

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality. And just like the speed of light governs the maximum rate at which effects can propagate in physical space, so similarly in our models there’s a “ maximum entanglement speed ” at which effects can propagate in branchial space. For hypergraphs, it’s isomorphism.
