Humanising Math and Physics on Computer Science
summary
Claims that embedding calculus into CS yields better engagement with code and that stories and films spark learning: a Brazilian test teach numerical methods inside algorithms gives positive student feedback; showing the film the imitation game motivates undergrads to tackle turing machines. Surprising facts include euler producing publishable material for fifty years after death. A small blog humanizes math, and a paper titled maxwell's fluid model for magnetism calls for software (cassandra neo4j julia) to pursue its ideas.
