When districts slot students into math classes based on ability they send conspicuous messages to those on the lower track that they are not smart enough, says Ho Nguyen, who was a K-12 math and computer science program administrator in San Francisco during the district's detracking attempt. Nevertheless, the attempt was tense.

My argument is that computer science was originally invented to be taught to everyone, but not for economic advantage. I see the LSA effort and our Teaspoon languages connected to the original goals for computer science. In 1961, the MIT Sloan School held a symposium on “Computers and the World of the Future.”

If anything, over the past seven years, my feelings about the centrality of computing in the mathematics major have gotten even more entrenched. First, I know more computer science and computer programming now than I did in 2007. These days the computer plays a front-and-center role in all of my classes.

Some involve alternate functional forms; others involve introducing additional functions, or allowing multiple arguments to our function f. But it turns out that the fact that this can happen depends critically on the Ackermann function having more than one argument—so that one can construct the “diagonal” f [ m , m , m ].

Since the standard Wolfram Language evaluator evaluates arguments first (“leftmost-innermost evaluation”), it therefore won’t terminate in this case—even though there are branches in the multiway evaluation (corresponding to “outermost evaluation”) that do terminate. As the Version 1.0

At the level of individual events, ideas from the theory and practice of computation are useful. Events are like functions, whose “arguments” are incoming tokens, and whose output is one or more outgoing tokens. And the same issue arose for Alonzo Church’s lambda calculus (introduced around 1930).
