For math teachers, a natural question arises: “What is the value of computer programming in my classroom?” The reality is that one doesn’t come before the other. Programming directly supports some of the core tenets of how we learn mathematics.

Last week I wrote about the birthday of the world’s first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace. Before she came up with the world’s first computer program (conceptually, at least), Lovelace was ...

Erma Pruett, a second-grade teacher at Kleberg Elementary School, watched Jaelonn Cox solve math problems on a computer, part of the Reasoning Mind program at the school. Erma Pruett, a second ...

Inspired by Curry’s observation, the mathematical logician William Alvin Howard discovered a deeper link between computation and logic in 1969, showing that running a computer program is a lot like simplifying a logical proof. When a computer program runs, each line is “evaluated” to yield a single output.

(TNS) — Math teachers are eagerly working toward a future in which many high school students take computer science to fulfill their math requirements, even though computer science doesn't ...

Today, only 2% of students study computer programming. If we triple that to 6%, we'd close the gap between students and jobs, driving $500 billion in economic value to our country.

As schools across the country debate banning AI chatbots in 2023, some math and computer science teachers are embracing them as just another tool. AP “Math has always been evolving as technology ...

Dr. Cheryl Frederick. Dr. Cheryl Frederick, executive director of STEM programs at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), said computer programming is a collaborative process, with a variety of programmers contributing during the development of a piece of software.Some of that development can last decades. For software like Microsoft Word released in 1983, for instance, programmers have ...
