This is particularly impressive when one considers that this is achieved without even knowing how non-stationary the environment is. Machine learners use a mix of mathematics and computer science to develop and test their algorithms. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A COMPUTER SCIENTIST? HOW GROUND-BREAKING IS THIS RESEARCH?

But functions that for example test whether a Turing machine will ever halt (or give the state that it achieves if and when it does halt) are not in general primitive recursive. And in doing this I quickly solidified my knowledge of mathematical logic and the (then-fledgling) field of theoretical computer science.

Indeed, the Zeroth Law of thermodynamics is essentially the statement that “statistically unique” equilibrium can be achieved, which in terms of energy becomes a statement that there is a unique notion of temperature. How do we achieve this? But is it “achieving measurement” or not? There’s a bit more to say about this, though.

And in what follows we’ll see the great power that arises from using this to combine the achievements and intuitions of physics and mathematics—and how this lets us think about new “general laws of mathematics”, and view the ultimate foundations of mathematics in a different light. 3 | The Metamodeling of Axiomatic Mathematics.

But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. The idea not of solving equations, but instead of setting up computational rules that could be explicitly run to represent and reproduce things in the world. What is that science? But at least it would have a home.

It’s not obvious that it would be feasible to find the path of the steepest descent on the “weight landscape” But calculus comes to the rescue. As we mentioned above, one can always think of a neural net as computing a mathematical function—that depends on its inputs, and its weights.

Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models. But there is something else too—and it’s from this that the full computational paradigm emerges. And the same issue arose for Alonzo Church’s lambda calculus (introduced around 1930).

An idea that was someone’s great achievement had been buried and lost to the world. And there are also foundational questions in computer science. My goal is to create a general book—and course—that’s an introduction to computational thinking at a level suitable for typical first-year college students.

Because it implies that whatever “computational parametrization” or “computational description language” one uses for the ruliad, one will almost always get something that can be viewed as “computationally equivalent”. But what about other models of computation—like cellular automata or register machines or lambda calculus?

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). “Lick” Licklider —who persuaded Ed to join BBN to “teach them about computers”. Ed was assigned to an airbase in Arizona , and by the summer of 1955 he had qualified as a fighter pilot.

And so being able to just get some great people at the table, some of the amazing sponsors that we have, and I would say the successes have really been at this point, having students who worked with us, you know, back in 2016 to now see them in college and pursuing computer science. I’m a prospective computer science major there.”

My argument is that computer science was originally invented to be taught to everyone, but not for economic advantage. I see the LSA effort and our Teaspoon languages connected to the original goals for computer science. In 1961, the MIT Sloan School held a symposium on “Computers and the World of the Future.”
