What is the strict difference between “we learn (#1)” and “We will learn (#2)”
#1. Wednesday, March 12th. Hey! more on moments and centers of mass. Today we learn how to compute such quantities for regions whose boundaries are defined by given functions. One use of the Simple Present is, as here, to indicate that an event is already scheduled. eg my plane leaves at 3

AnonymousWhat is the strict difference between “we learn (#1)” and “We will learn (#2)”I don't sense a difference in meaning. I find the two completely interchangeable.
Today we learn how to ... = Today we will learn how to ...
The tone may be very slightly different. we learn seems a bit warmer; we will learn seems a bit cooler.

IMO:
The first brings the future in and makes it present, everything is flattened to a present
The 2nd leaves the critical part in a separate future, still to come
