How To Make Someone Not Hate Math

ED Surge

For some reason, it’s a common belief that everyone who goes into fields such as math, economics or computer science is brilliant, probably in part because those fields are financially rewarding, Miller-Cotto says. But a case of “senioritis” caused her to drop out of high school calculus. She describes herself as a “math brain.”

Is Computer Science STEM – The Link Between the Two

STEM Education Guide

However, one thing that’s often overlooked is computer science education, an incredibly essential subject and skill in today’s digital era. While the science aspect (chemistry, biology, and physics) and mathematics (calculus and algebra) is a breeze to figure out, the engineering and technology aspects are less straightforward.

They Started Teaching During the Pandemic Year. Where Are They Now?

ED Surge

years of my career at Weehawken High School, where I taught Algebra I (students in grades seven to nine) and AP Calculus (grades 11-12). Starting my career at the height of COVID literally altered my brain chemistry as an educator. At Bush, I teach technology applications, computer science and robotics. For the past 1.5

Five Most Productive Years: What Happened and What’s Next

Stephen Wolfram

And in May 2021 that intersected with practical blockchain questions , which caused me to write about “ The Problem of Distributed Consensus ”—which would soon show up again in the science and philosophy of observers. Let’s talk first about chemistry. I never found chemistry interesting as a kid. OK, so that’s a lot of projects.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. The idea not of solving equations, but instead of setting up computational rules that could be explicitly run to represent and reproduce things in the world. What is that science? But at least it would have a home.

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

Stephen Wolfram

Chemistry / Molecular Biology. In thinking about chemistry we can make a much more concrete multicomputational model: the tokens are actual individual molecules (represented say in terms of bonds) and the events are reactions between them. (As Perhaps not for chemistry as it’s done today. Does this matter, though?
