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

Stephen Wolfram

So did that mean we were “finished” with calculus? Somewhere along the way we built out discrete calculus , asymptotic expansions and integral transforms. And in Version 14 there are significant advances around calculus. Another advance has to do with expanding the range of “pre-packaged” calculus operations.

Launching Version 13.1 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica ??????

Stephen Wolfram

Needless to say, you can do this computationally—though the “calculus” of what’s been defined so far in Unicode is fairly bizarre: &#10005. If one’s doing something like astronomy, this kind of “physical” date computation is probably what one wants. Transforming college calculus was one of the early achievements of Mathematica.

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. This is therefore not a fact peculiar to astronomy; reversibility is a necessary consequence of all mechanistic hypotheses.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

When you do operations on Around numbers the “errors” are combined using a certain calculus of errors that’s effectively based on Gaussian distributions—and the results you get are always in some sense statistical. Also in the area of calculus we’ve added various conveniences to the handling of differential equations. In Version 13.0
