Computer Science for the sake of ?

Computer Science Teacher

Now Bootstrap is probably best known for their mix of computer science and algebra but they are moving into more areas of the curriculum and I think that is a great thing. Last spring, while I was teaching at a new (to me) school I spend some time with a teacher of astronomy.

Ancient Greek Science Achievements

STEMe

Through their systematic observations and logical deductions, they established the foundations of mathematics, astronomy, physics, and medicine that we still build upon today. The Greeks also made advances in algebra and number theory. Their pursuit of these answers was not merely academic—it was revolutionary.

What should mathematics majors know about computing, and when should they know it?

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

As I teach my Linear Algebra and Differential Equations class this semester, which uses more computing than ever, I'm thinking even more about these topics. The computer is a tool for studying mathematical ideas in the same sense that a microscope is for studying biology and a telescope is for studying astronomy.

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

Stephen Wolfram

But what if we ask a question where the answer is some algebraic expression? But in an algebra course, one wouldn’t want to consider the unfactored form a “correct answer” to the factoring problem, even though it’s “mathematically equal”. But at first only some date functions supported granularity; now in Version 13.3

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

So, for example, astronomy is an area we’ve significantly developed in Version 14 , and supporting astronomy has required adding several new “high-precision” time capabilities, such as the TimeSystem option, as well as new astronomy-oriented calendar systems. Another example concerns date arithmetic. In Version 3.0
