The Math Revolution You Haven’t Heard About

ED Surge

Around the country, “ math wars ” are raging over attempts to increase equity by playing down calculus from the curriculum in favor of statistics or computer science, or by delaying when students take algebra. For the high school summer program at Harvard, though, only algebra II was required. But it’s hardly a foregone conclusion.

POTU Evolution Part 1: From California to Rio Americano

The Blog of Phyz

We plan to launch our Physics of the Universe (POTU) course in 2021-22. Physics of the Universe is the physics portion of the three-course model for Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) implementation. California is where I live and work; Rio Americano High School is where I've taught physics since 1986.

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. Pythagoras introduced the famous Pythagorean theorem, relating the sides of a right-angled triangle.

Even beyond Physics: Introducing Multicomputation as a Fourth General Paradigm for Theoretical Science

Stephen Wolfram

One might have thought it was already exciting enough for our Physics Project to be showing a path to a fundamental theory of physics and a fundamental description of how our physical universe works. Despite this, however, fundamental physics always seemed to resist its advance. The Path to a New Paradigm.

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

And one of the stunningly beautiful things—at least for a physicist like me—is that the same phenomenon that in physical space gives us gravity, in branchial space gives us quantum mechanics. It’s because we’re observers like us that we perceive the laws of physics we do. Human minds who think alike are nearby.

How can smart contact lenses monitor and treat eye conditions?

Futurum

Wearable sensors can be tailored to monitor a range of physical (e.g., Biomedical engineering is a field that spans many disciplines, combining engineering, biology, medicine and healthcare. At school, study maths, physics, biology and chemistry. WHAT CAN THESE DEVICES MONITOR? pressure and strain), electrophysical (e.g.,
