Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT

Stephen Wolfram

But while ChatGPT is a remarkable achievement in automating the doing of major human-like things, not everything that’s useful to do is quite so “human like”. Put another way, it’d take “fixing” an almost infinite number of “bugs” to patch up what even an almost-infinitesimal corner of Wolfram|Alpha can achieve in its structured way.

How far has education really come in terms of reducing inequities?

CSTEM

For instance, only 38% of schools serving predominantly Black and Latinx students offer calculus, compared to 50% of all high schools. Assuming otherwise can deprive bright students of opportunities and rob their communities of the potential benefits their achievements could bring. Economic disparities are just as stark.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

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

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

Stephen Wolfram

But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. There’s a discussion about H for systems that interact, and how there’s an equilibrium value achieved. It’s exciting now, of course, to be able to use the latest 21st-century ideas to take another step.

Don’t Give Up on Algebra: Let’s Shift the Focus to Instruction

National Science Foundation

Similarly, reformers have focused on the timing of the course, aiming to enroll students as early as possible to open pathways to calculus and to diversify access to higher level mathematics. Yet we have not seen equal advances in achievement (National Center for Education Statistics, 2019). 2017; Stein et al.,

Here in more detail are the forms of some typical components of branchial graphs achieved at particular steps: &#10005. Imagine that rather than playing a specific game, we instead at each step just make every possible move with equal probability. . &#10005. The Icosian Game & Some Relatives. &#10005. &#10005.
