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

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

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. Can anyone seriously imagine banning microscope technology from the biology major, on the argument that biology is a more pure discipline without the technology?

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

Stephen Wolfram

The function Map takes a function f and “maps it” over a list: Comap does the “mathematically co-” version of this, taking a list of functions and “comapping” them onto a single argument: Why is this useful? But we wanted to be able to compute hundreds of different functions to arbitrary precision for any complex values of their arguments.

Launching Version 13.1 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica ??????

Stephen Wolfram

You can give Threaded as an argument to any listable function, not just Plus and Times : &#10005. we’re adding SymmetricDifference : find elements that (in the 2-argument case) are in one list or the other, but not both. If one’s doing something like astronomy, this kind of “physical” date computation is probably what one wants.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

But in 1798 Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) (1753–1814) measured the heat produced by the mechanical process of boring a cannon, and began to make the argument that, in contradiction to the caloric theory, there was actually some kind of correspondence between mechanical energy and amount of heat.
