Elementary students rarely encounter computer science or engineering, and advanced science courses in high school favor higher-income, non-minority students. For instance, only 38% of schools serving predominantly Black and Latinx students offer calculus, compared to 50% of all high schools. Changing placement policies.

Children between 6th and 12th grades can easily find an appropriate course in algebra, geometry, algebra 2, and pre-calculus. They have lessons like Intro to Multiplication and Division to advanced concepts in calculus and complex numbers. What makes School Yourself unique is the way that the application works.

Line, Surface and Contour Integration “Find the integral of the function ” is a typical core thing one wants to do in calculus. And in Mathematica and the Wolfram Language that’s achieved with Integrate. And over the years that’s exactly what we’ve achieved—for integrals, sums, differential equations, etc. And in Version 13.3

The whole process of “prompt engineering” feels a bit like animal wrangling: you’re trying to get ChatGPT to do what you want, but it’s hard to know just what it will take to achieve that. In the past, one might have tried to achieve this “by hand” by starting with “boilerplate” pieces, then modifying them, “gluing” them together, etc.

So many discoveries, so many inventions, so much achieved, so much learned. And key to everything we do is leveraging what we have already done—often taking what in earlier years was a pinnacle of technical achievement, and now using it as a routine building block to reach a level that could barely even be imagined before.

“I suffered terribly during my 12th grade mathematics class (due to the teaching style and others telling me I couldn’t do math), but I am glad I persevered, as I earned an A and got accepted to the College of William and Mary, where I was able to study calculus again in a better environment.

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. Develop these by taking classes such as mathematics, calculus and programming.

Part of what this achieves is to generalize beyond traditional mathematics the kind of constructs that can appear in models. In physics, those “topological phenomena” presumably correspond to things like elementary particles , with all their various elaborate symmetries.

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.

An idea that was someone’s great achievement had been buried and lost to the world.

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).

there are now many integrals that could previously be done only in terms of special functions, but now give results in elementary functions. Also in the area of calculus we’ve added various conveniences to the handling of differential equations. And then you have to actually construct a controller that achieves those objectives.
