CS doesn’t have a monopoly on computing education: Programming is for everyone

Computing Education Research Blog

I was on a panel Assessments for Non-CS Major Computing Classes (see the ACM DL paper here ). Her talk was particularly relevant to me because she emphasized how she is studying business students, not computer science students her research is about how non-CS students interact with computing and programming.

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

Think of it as the entangled limit of everything that is computationally possible: the result of following all possible computational rules in all possible ways. And it’s one that I think has extremely deep implications—both in science and beyond. The full ruliad is in effect a representation of all possible computations.

The Physicalization of Metamathematics and Its Implications for the Foundations of Mathematics

Stephen Wolfram

We can think of the ruliad as the entangled limit of all possible computations—or in effect a representation of all possible formal processes. Many of these consequences are incredibly complicated, and full of computational irreducibility. But now we can make a bridge to mathematics. So is something similar happening with mathematics?

Are there ‘rules’ for conveying emotion through art?

Futurum

“For the line drawings, we traced the contours with custom-made computer vision algorithms,” says Dirk. “We We wanted to see whether there were enough consistent features in each category for the computer to be able to accurately categorise any one image.” If the computer had only guessed randomly, it would have had an accuracy of 17%.

From Scientist to Shareholder: Why do it?

Scientix

In Natural Sciences, students often struggle to understand and apply science topics, and have difficulties imagining or realizing their importance and application in real life. As John Doerr, successful venture capitalist and early investor in Google, recently phrased it: “Sustainability is the next computer science”.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

But in a quirk of history that I now realize had tremendous significance, I had just spent a couple of years creating a big computer system that was ultimately a direct forerunner of our modern Wolfram Language. So for me it was obvious: if I couldn’t figure out things myself with math, I should use a computer. Computation theory.
