What Image Comes to Your Mind When You Think of a “Doctor”?

National Science Foundation

I designed a series of activities beginning with the Knowing and Learning in Science and Mathematics course. The lessons learned are carried through the subsequent Classroom Interactions and Multiple Teaching Practices in Science and Mathematics (PBL) courses (each with field experiences), and full time Student Teaching with seminar.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

But what I want to do here is to discuss what amount to deeper questions about AI in science. Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. A lot of science—and technology—has been constructed specifically around computationally reducible phenomena.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

And at first I did so in the main scientific paradigm I knew : models based on mathematics and mathematical equations. From mathematics. Mathematical physics. By the late 1970s, though, there were other initiatives emerging, particularly coming from mathematics and mathematical physics. Synergetics.
