Twittering with Mathematica
- herdrick 17y agoMathematica looks really powerful and practical. The demo was really impressive rrrrrrright up until he had to start using a Java library. Then it was all the creating of client objects and credentials objects, initializing things, marching to and fro... There may have been some factories in there; I skimmed it. Man, does Java suck or what?
- redorb 17y agoI recently looked up mathematica, after reading up on wolfram; I then went to the site to find it cost $2,495 for a license :( Can anyone explain to me please what it exactly does and its worth in a few sentences? Thanks..
- chris11 17y agocell phone calculator: scientific calculator :: scientific calculator: mathematica. Mathematica is computational software. It has some powerful graphing capabilities and can be used to write technical reports. It can also handle very large sets of data. You write code to use it, and you can code C applications to access Mathematica. It is pretty powerful. It is mainly used by scientists and engineers. I think you can get a home edition for around $300.
- herdrick 17y agoYes, $300. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=465403 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=465403
- buugs 17y agoIt is a very interesting program and can be used for data manipulation and mathematical research, I know that there are a large number of professors that supplement their research with mathematica and it seems to fit better than matlab with math based subjects. Now there are some web based functionality that can be seen here: http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jsp http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jsp as well as it being the back for wolframalpha or so I am told.
