Can there be computational soccer? This fall I was trying to explain to some kids that the most dangerous place for attackers to have the ball is right in front of the goal where they can get off a good shot. Then it occurred to me the second most...
I was thinking this could be a classroom discussion idea, but I would also be interested in what people think (or what any machine thinks). How much of a pie is a slice of pie? or what is the maximum before any more pie counts as too much pie. ...
Recently I decided to work on some of my own projects, and so I left Wolfram Research after almost 17 years. I still have some time on the side to do some consulting if anyone needs a consultant for a project involving Wolfram technologies. ...
What do you think of the idea of automatically judging if a piece of data was beautiful? This could mean the data in an image (ImageData) or maybe the result of a computation (e.g. CellularAutomaton), or anything, although I am thinking of a list or...

It seems like there is an ABC book about everything, so I thought I'd make one for Wolfram Language ([**attached**][1] below). Turns out that many of the key concepts can be covered (see [EIWL][2] for a more grown up introduction) and it makes a...
In the spirit of using WL to talk to AI, this function should be useful, It is like [Do][1] except it tells the program what not to do. A simple example might be Dont[Outer[Divide, Range[-5,5], Range[-5,5]], DivideByZero] There are...
After reading about [this article][1] on testing the educational benefits of chess, I was wondering what would constitute a decent experiment for the benefits of learning [Wolfram Language][2]? Certainly there is a lot of common sense behind...
Recently there has been news about this [article][1] in Science. The goal was to find a minimal set of genes that could make a living thing. They used some engineering and some computer experiments in addition to some brute force searching. They...
As part of the [application][1] to the [Wolfram High School Summer Camp][2] (see [this post][3] for more information) we have a problem set to allow applicants to distinguish themselves. I can't post them all here because if anyone answered on the...
