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

Stephen Wolfram

Computational Foundations for the Second Law of Thermodynamics (forthcoming) 2. And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. This is part 3 in a 3-part series about the Second Law: 1. How Did We Get Here?

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

Stephen Wolfram

We’ve worked very hard to make its design as clean and coherent as possible—and to make it a timeless way to elegantly represent computation and everything that can be described through it. Last Friday I fired up Version 1 on an old Mac SE/30 computer (with 2.5 Last Friday I fired up Version 1 on an old Mac SE/30 computer (with 2.5

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

All the functions in Abramowitz & Stegun are now fully computable in the Wolfram Language. 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. And in Version 13.0
