Mathematica 6 Launched 222

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday May 01, 2007 @08:41PM from the simulate-this dept.

Ed Pegg writes "Wolfram Research has just released Mathematica 6. That link, in addition to the usual 'dramatic breakthrough' material, has an amazing flash banner that simultaneously shows a thousand mathematical demonstrations all at once. The animations came from the Wolfram Demonstrations Project, a free service with 1200+ dynamically interactive examples of math, science, and physics, all with code. For the product itself, much is new or improved, with built-in math databases, improved visualizations, and more."

Please don't promote hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia [wikipedia.org] here. Numbers are neither good nor evil. When you obtain enlightment, you will discover that mathematics is God's language. Peace, my son. :P

It's easy to get around that. Just do a PhD.

Actually, SAGE 2.5 (due to be released very soon) will wrap Maxima's functionality in what will hopefully be a very seamless and transparent integration. And since SAGE is a Python library, no learning some esoteric custom math language.

That's sarcasm is a little harsh considering they included that because they included just about everything.

That said, I'd hate to be the guy whose project it was to create all those demonstration pages. Probably given to the interns or something.

Boss: Your job is to create demonstrations involving basic arithmetic.
Intern: Wait, I'm here because of my studies on octonions.
Boss: I don't care. Today your job is to show people how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.
