Welcome New Computer Science Teachers

Computer Science Teacher

For one thing a lot of teachers have been voluntold that they are going to teach computer science in the fall.Some have never taught CS before. Hopefully, all CS teachers join the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA). Many people also join Computer Science Educators which is a wide ranging group for CS teachers.

The Math Revolution You Haven’t Heard About

ED Surge

Math professor Martin Weissman is rethinking how his university teaches calculus. Called Math 11 A and B, these classes, which students take as freshmen and sophomores, constitute a “leaky pipeline,” Weissman says. There are math requirements for those majors. CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

A Spoon Full of Computer Science

Computer Science Teacher

I did find their definition : data science the science of collecting, organizing, and drawing general conclusions from data, with the help of computers. The idea of teaspoon languages is to add some computer science to other subjects to broaden participation in CS. Note that Bootstrap also has Bootstrap Physics !

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

And in our century there’s a new and yet more powerful one: computation. And for nearly 50 years I’ve had the great privilege of building an ever taller tower of science and technology based on that idea of computation. And I ended that talk with a question: is computation ultimately what’s underneath everything in our universe?

How to Help Kids Overcome Their Fear of Math, According to a Brain Scientist

ED Surge

For all that education has changed in recent times—from the disappearance of cursive lessons to the rise of computer science in classrooms to pandemic-forced remote learning—one thing has remained stubbornly unchanged. That’s stress and anxiety over math. Underperformance, as a nation, in math is not new.

Looking Back on Computer Science Education in 2021

Computer Science Teacher

It’s not just devices like the Oculus but also computers capable enough to support VR and its development. The pandemic has made doing any sort of physical computing more difficult. The math and coding involved in creating AI from scratch is intense. How that will go is anyone’s guess. There are two barriers.

Race Cars and Missile Tests: An Overview of Computational Fluid Dynamics

STEMe

But these tests aren’t any ordinary tests—they usually involve a complex process known as computational fluid dynamics. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has its roots in the Navier-Stokes equations, a set of equations developed from 1822 to 1850 that describes the momentum balance of Newtonian fluids. But how does CFD work?
