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?

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?

I struggled in chemistry and I got very little support and so that meant that I couldn’t go on and take physics. “Miss Winnie, I tried to sign up for AP calculus and my counselor told me that, you know, she asked me ‘Are you sure you want to take that?' But so many students will come up to me and it will be like.
