The Connect with Maths team is very excited to announce that Conrad Wolfram will be providing our second professional learning event, 'Mathematica, computer-based maths and the new era of STEM', for the Maths in Action community.
Conrad's TED TALKS "Teaching Kids Real Maths with computers" laid out the rationale and roadmap for this rethink and the same year he founded computerbasedmath.org (CBM) to drive implementation of the change.
The movement is now a worldwide force in re-engineering the STEM curriculum and in February 2013 it was announced that Estonia would be the first partner country.
The Wolfram Group specializes in pushing boundaries at the intersection of computation, maths and knowledge, including making Mathematica software, the Wolfram Alpha knowledge engine (powering knowledge answers for Apple's Siri), the Computable Document Format (CDF) standard, the newly announced Wolfram Language and forthcoming Wolfram Cloud.
