UCLA Life Sciences Revamped How It Teaches Math. Is It an Example Others Should Follow?

ED Surge

It was from his dean, who said that the department had inspected their freshman calculus course, “Calculus for Life Sciences.” The need for biology students to understand math concepts has become increasingly important, especially with the digital revolution sweeping across science.

The Math Revolution You Haven’t Heard About

ED Surge

Math professor Martin Weissman is rethinking how his university teaches calculus. Some educators place a share of the blame on calculus courses, which can push out otherwise interested students. Meanwhile, the calculus instruction has to be slowed down enough that it’s not as effective for math people as it could be. “I

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

Stephen Wolfram

One might have thought it was already exciting enough for our Physics Project to be showing a path to a fundamental theory of physics and a fundamental description of how our physical universe works. Despite this, however, fundamental physics always seemed to resist its advance. The Path to a New Paradigm.

How to Think Computationally about AI, the Universe and Everything

Stephen Wolfram

And one of the stunningly beautiful things—at least for a physicist like me—is that the same phenomenon that in physical space gives us gravity, in branchial space gives us quantum mechanics. It’s because we’re observers like us that we perceive the laws of physics we do. Human minds who think alike are nearby.

How can smart contact lenses monitor and treat eye conditions?

Futurum

Wearable sensors can be tailored to monitor a range of physical (e.g., Biomedical engineering is a field that spans many disciplines, combining engineering, biology, medicine and healthcare. At school, study maths, physics, biology and chemistry. WHAT CAN THESE DEVICES MONITOR? pressure and strain), electrophysical (e.g.,
