It’s no secret that the exposure of students to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) can positively impact the future of the world and their futures. However, one thing that’s often overlooked is computer science education, an incredibly essential subject and skill in today’s digital era.

In its current form, school algebra serves as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics. Researchers and policy makers have pushed to open that gate—providing more students access to algebra, focusing in particular on those students historically denied access to higher-level mathematics.

And indeed one of the great achievements of our civilization over the past several centuries has been to build up the paradigms of mathematics, the exact sciences—and, most importantly, now computation—and to create a tower of capabilities quite different from what pure human-like thinking can achieve.

So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? Somewhere along the way we built out discrete calculus , asymptotic expansions and integral transforms. And in Version 14 there are significant advances around calculus. Another advance has to do with expanding the range of “pre-packaged” calculus operations.

One such proposal is to bring data science into high school math curriculum while deemphasizing more-traditional math pathways. We believe that it's critical for some kids to be exposed to calculus. And we should probably expand the pipeline of young people who take calculus in high school.”
