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). In the 2021-22 school year, I moved to an elementary school in Santa Rosa, California. Starting my career at the height of COVID literally altered my brain chemistry as an educator.

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

Stephen Wolfram

The fall of 2021 involved really leaning into the new multicomputational paradigm , among other things giving a long list of where it might apply : metamathematics, chemistry, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, immunology, linguistics, economics, machine learning, distributed computing. Let’s talk first about chemistry.

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

Stephen Wolfram

In addition to whole courses, we have “miniseries” of lectures about specific topics: And we also have courses —and books—about the Wolfram Language itself, like my Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language , which came out in a third edition this year (and has an associated course, online version, etc.):

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

Stephen Wolfram

In physics, those “topological phenomena” presumably correspond to things like elementary particles , with all their various elaborate symmetries. Ultimately one wants to see how the structure and behavior of the system can be broken down into elementary “tokens” and “events”. Chemistry / Molecular Biology.

Remembering the Improbable Life of Ed Fredkin (1934–2023) and His World of Ideas and Stories

Stephen Wolfram

It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus). In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. But how can one work out the n ∞ case?
