From Novice to AI with Wolfram Language

I have been publishing a series of Wolfram language lectures for some time now on this platform, I think we have about 6 lessons so far. I had written a full Wolfram Notebook for a course on Wolfram language programming and Artificial Intelligence I first taught at Kaduna State University Nigeria and decided to share them here.

The course is fast paced and takes you from Novice to AI practitioner in the shortest time possible. I taught this course over a period of 3 days so it is really fast paced. Enjoy!

How to generate interesting conversations with students surrounding mathematical diversity.

Historical figures (From wikipedia):

Omar Khayyam 18 May 1048 – 4 December 1131) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet. He was born in Nishapur, in northeastern Iran, and spent most of his life near the court of the Karakhanid and Seljuq rulers in the period which witnessed the First Crusade.

As a mathematician, he is most notable for his work on the classification and solution of cubic equations, where he provided geometric solutions by the intersection of conics.

June Barrow-Green (The Open University) Towards a diversity resource for undergraduate mathematics

When reading through the Open University’s textbook “Pure Mathematics M208”, in the historical margin notes, the only female mathematician was Emmy Noether. The vast majority of characters were white European men.

The question is how do we create a resource which can tackle issues of diversity in mathematics? This is a recent project begun by June Barrow Green.

It is important to avoid tokenism when thinking about diversity.

What do we mean by diversity: Ethnicity, gender, culture/ Images of mathematicians, who are the students?…
