Computer Science for the sake of ?

Computer Science Teacher

But coming back to data. I recently watched a TEDx talk by Emmanuel Schanzer titled Four Ingredients for K-12 Data Science. In any case, it is clear that Bootstrap Data Science takes things I used to think about to a whole new level. More and more I see programming as a learning tool as well.

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

National Science Foundation

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.

Unveiling Julia: A Quantum Leap in High-Performance Coding Languages

STEMe

Or how about something as usable for general programming as Python, as easy for statistics as R, as natural for string processing as Perl, as powerful for linear algebra as Matlab, and as good at gluing programs together as the shell? There actually is a programming language out there with all these qualities, and it is called Julia!

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

Stephen Wolfram

It extends to things like doing data science or other forms of computational work (or programming). And its invention soon led to algebra, and calculus, and ultimately all the various mathematical sciences. It’s a very good situation, that I think has great practical potential.
