Tech Teacher Appreciation Week May 6-10, 2024

Ask a Tech Teacher

There’s always been something mystically cerebral about people in technical professions like engineering, science, and mathematics. They talk animatedly about plate tectonics, debate the structure of atoms, even smile at the mention of calculus.

Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT

Stephen Wolfram

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.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Line, Surface and Contour Integration “Find the integral of the function ” is a typical core thing one wants to do in calculus. But particularly in applications of calculus, it’s common to want to ask slightly more elaborate questions, like “What’s the integral of over the region ?”, or “What’s the integral of along the line ?”

Don’t Give Up on Algebra: Let’s Shift the Focus to Instruction

National Science Foundation

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. Berry & Larson, 2019; Levitt, 2019).

Grading in my Discrete Mathematics class: a 3x3x3 reflection

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

Here's the one from Winter 2021 for calculus and here's the one for modern algebra. This semester I taught two sections of Discrete Structures for Computer Science 1, an entry-level course for Computer Science majors on the mathematical foundations of computing.

There is transfer between programming and other subjects: Skills overlap, but it may not be causal

Computing Education Research Blog

They looked at 105 studies and found that there was a measurable amount of transfer between programming and situations requiring mathematical skills and spatial reasoning. We cannot predict that students learning programming will automatically get higher mathematics grades, for example. Those things transfer.
