The Role of Mathematics in Education: What Professions You Can Get in the Future Have you ever found yourself pondering the real-world applications of those algebraic formulas or geometric theorems you spent hours trying to decipher in school? But what makes mathematics the lingua franca of computer science?

The Most Underrated Computer Science Career: Quantitative Analysis

STEMe

Quantitative traders routinely use highly complex mathematics, such as stochastic calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and discrete mathematics to create these models. Nevertheless, the career is a highly interesting and lucrative one for those fascinated by mathematics and its applications in the finance world.

Can machine learning cope with the erratic and uncertain nature of the real world?

Futurum

Machine learners use a mix of mathematics and computer science to develop and test their algorithms. I like that machine learning combines two of my favourite subjects, math and computer science, to solve real-life problems in an unprecedented way.”. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A COMPUTER SCIENTIST?

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

But the computer let me discover just by systematic enumeration the 2-state, 3-color machine that in 2007 was proved universal (and, yes, it’s the simplest possible universal Turing machine). In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be.

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

Stephen Wolfram

Mathematics is normally done at the level of “specific mathematical concepts” (like, say, algebraic equations or hyperbolic geometry)—that are effectively the “populated places” (or “populated reference frames”) of metamathematical space. I know of a few perhaps-closer approaches to our conception of multiway systems.

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

. “Lick” Licklider —who persuaded Ed to join BBN to “teach them about computers”. It didn’t really come to light until he was at BBN, but while at Lincoln Lab Ed had made what would eventually become his first lasting contribution to computer science. Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra.
