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. In the original article, I gave a list of what computing skills mathematics majors should learn and when they should learn them.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Any integral of an algebraic function can in principle be done in terms of our general DifferentialRoot objects. the same integral could still be done, but only in terms of elliptic integrals : Mathematical Functions: A Milestone Is Reached. has lots of specific mathematical enhancements. we’re delivering another jump forward.

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

Stephen Wolfram

They’re mathematically more complex, but each one we successfully cover makes a new collection of problems accessible to exact solution and reliable numerical and symbolic computation. It’s the end of a long journey, and a satisfying achievement in the quest to make as much mathematical knowledge as possible automatically computable.

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? Ever since Version 1.0

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. Sometimes the result involves explicit mathematical functions: &#10005. we’re connecting to “Descartes-style” analytic geometry, converting geometric descriptions to algebraic formulas. Ever since Version 1.0
