What should mathematics majors know about computing, and when should they know it?

Robert Talbert, Ph.D.

As I teach my Linear Algebra and Differential Equations class this semester, which uses more computing than ever, I'm thinking even more about these topics. The computer is a tool for studying mathematical ideas in the same sense that a microscope is for studying biology and a telescope is for studying astronomy.

The Latest from Our R&D Pipeline: Version 13.2 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

But it’s also got some “surprise” new dramatic efficiency improvements, and it’s got some first hints of major new areas that we have under development—particularly related to astronomy and celestial mechanics. Relativity also isn’t important in geography, but it is in astronomy. Introducing Astro Computation. Dates are complicated.

LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And, yes, when you try to run the function, it’ll notice it doesn’t have correct arguments and options specified. Digital Twins: Fitting System Models to Data It’s been five years since we first began to introduce industrial-scale systems engineering capabilities in the Wolfram Language. And now in Version 13.3

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

And we’ve been steadily doing the engineering to let AIs call on Wolfram Language as easily as possible. The function Map takes a function f and “maps it” over a list: Comap does the “mathematically co-” version of this, taking a list of functions and “comapping” them onto a single argument: Why is this useful? is PositionSmallest.

Launching Version 12.3 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

of Wolfram Language and Mathematica we mean desktop , cloud and engine : all three versions are being released today. we’re connecting to “Descartes-style” analytic geometry, converting geometric descriptions to algebraic formulas. Tree takes two arguments: a “payload” (which can be any expression), and a list of subtrees.
