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.
Fall STEM Activities for Elementary Students Seed Germination Observations Description: Collect seeds from various fall fruits and vegetables (like pumpkins, squash, or apples) and plant them in transparent cups filled with soil. They can then graph or chart their findings using simple drawings.
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.
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.):
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.

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?
Once one has the idea of “equilibrium”, one can then start to think of its properties as purely being functions of certain parameters—and this opens up all sorts of calculus-based mathematical opportunities. That anything like this makes sense depends, however, yet again on “perfect randomness as far as the observer is concerned”.
there are now many integrals that could previously be done only in terms of special functions, but now give results in elementary functions. Also in the area of calculus we’ve added various conveniences to the handling of differential equations. A typical area where this kind of subgraph isomorphism comes up is in chemistry.
And so, after I returned back to Madison, I was in a conversation with a former elementary school principal at Fulton Elementary. I struggled in chemistry and I got very little support and so that meant that I couldn’t go on and take physics. And after my graduate degree, I again moved back to Madison.
