In its current form, school algebra serves as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics. Researchers and policy makers have pushed to open that gate—providing more students access to algebra, focusing in particular on those students historically denied access to higher-level mathematics. Let’s Not Be So Quick to Give Up on Algebra.

For instance, only 38% of schools serving predominantly Black and Latinx students offer calculus, compared to 50% of all high schools. Economic disparities are just as stark. In middle schools offering algebra, white students make up 50% of the attendees, but 58% of those enrolled in algebra classes.

Children between 6th and 12th grades can easily find an appropriate course in algebra, geometry, algebra 2, and pre-calculus. There are courses on everything a child could want to learn about, including science, economics, computing, and so much more.

It’s a new paradigm—that actually seems to unlock things not only in fundamental physics, but also in the foundations of mathematics and computer science , and possibly in areas like biology and economics too. You know, I talked about building up the universe by repeatedly applying a computational rule. But how is that rule picked?

Meanwhile I started thinking about the relationship of methods from the Physics Project to distributed computing, and to economics. Talking of “societies of observers” brings me to another area I want to study: economics. How does a coherent economic system emerge from all the microscopic transactions and other events in a society?

But then mathematical notation was invented, and math took off—with the development of algebra, calculus, and eventually all the various mathematical sciences. But what’s also critical is that it gives us a way to “know what we have”—because we can realistically and economically read Wolfram Language code that ChatGPT has generated.

The global structures of metamathematics , economics , linguistics and evolutionary biology seem likely to provide examples—and in each case we can expect that at the core is the ruliad, with its unique structure. But what about other models of computation—like cellular automata or register machines or lambda calculus?

That little girl went on to study math and economics in college, then became a math teacher and a teacher-coach. So I was able to take algebra, for example, in eighth grade, which put me on the trajectory to make it all the way to statistics past calculus once I got in high school. She was teaching a calculus class.

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). Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. But suffice it say to that Ed’s old nemesis—calculus—comes in very handy. And he says “There’s a problem.
