Free access

[edit]

I see we just released the "Wolfram Open Cloud" which provides a second way to get free access to Mathematica (in addition to the Raspberry Pi version). The article currently says "Mathematica is proprietary software licensed at a range of prices for commercial, educational, and other uses." I don't think anyone might guess that "range or prices" includes free.

However, I don't think this is a sentance that I can try and update without being accused of 'advertising'. Could someone update the article to reflect those changes. More info here JonMcLoone (talk) 16:44, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think an update is in order to account for the recent free release of the Wolfram Engine for Developers on all three major platforms. Where should that go? Ackbeet (talk) 16:48, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mathematica 10.4

[edit]

Short summary of new features here, in case anyone wants to update the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonMcLoone (talkcontribs) 11:13, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Be Bold!

[edit]

Hello, I recently moved the page to this new title because I noticed the name that the program installs as is "Wolfram Mathematica". I was editing boldly. (Besides, iTunes doesn't install as Apple iTunes. Shouldn't we name the page what the program install as?) However, if anyone feels that the page moves (I also moved the talk page archives) and edits were inappropriate, feel free to revert the edit.

Also note that, while I moved and edited most of the appropriate pages, I did not edit the corresponding Wikidata entry as I have no idea what to do there. (The only reason I know about the Wikidata entry is because the special move page told me after the move to edit it.)

Mathematica 11

[edit]

I have updated the page where it was factually incorrect. Others should consider which features are notable (this hasn't really been updated for several releases).
The summary of new features can be found here... — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonMcLoone (talkcontribs) 15:24, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mathematica 11.1

[edit]

This release has not rendered anything in the article incorrect. The list of new capabilities to consider adding to the article is here...

User badges

[edit]

I updated the logos in the user badges. Here they are:

This user can program in
Mathematica.
-1This user is a beginner Mathematica programmer.
-2This user is an intermediate Mathematica programmer.
-3This user is an advanced Mathematica programmer.
-4This user is an expert Mathematica programmer.
This user can program in the Wolfram Language.

Can this

[edit]

Can this software generate fractals? Should it also be placed in the category for Fractal software and appear on this template? - Shiftchange (talk) 08:34, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since Fractals have mathematical equations behind their making, Mathematica of course can make them given the proper input. It should not be listed as Fractal software, since Fractal software can usually only do Fractals, where Mathematica can do much more than Fractals.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 4 external links on Wolfram Mathematica. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

The company that was Mathematica

[edit]

There is no mention of the company that was named Mathematica, known for RAMIS (software). Pi314m (talk) 07:44, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There now is an article for "Mathematica (company)" so it's time to clarify:

Redirect

[edit]

Why is the article called "Wolfram Mathematica (software)" if there isn't amy other article called that? We only need parentheses if there is another article called Wolfram Mathematica, but it redirects here. This is ridiculous.

I know there is distinguishment between here and Mathematica (company), but what is wrong with mentioning the company in the hatnote? Prodigy55 (talk) 04:40, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What is Mathematica

[edit]

An admin has deleted the Features section, so now there is only a single line in the article that tries to describe what Mathematica is or does. The rest is mostly about how it connects to other things.

Apparently the article can only mention a few notable features in prose only. No bullets and no attempt to sum up what it does more broadly.

I am copying the deleted content below so that it is not lost. But I am not going to try and write new content...

UPE

[edit]

Hello. I have just tagged this article {{undisclosed paid}}, because it was very heavily edited by a (highly likely paid) sockfarm that is focused almost exclusively on promoting Stephen Wolfram and his work. Please see this COIN thread (perma) and the related SPI for more information. The article will need a thorough review before the tag is removed. Thanks and best, Blablubbs|talk 15:14, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1967-founded Mathematica

[edit]

Although some may refer to Wolfram Mathematica as Mathematica, that does not eliminate first-claim to 1967-founded Mathematica. To avoid making Mathematica into a Disambiguation page, it seems best to follow the Wiki WP:MOS guideline of placing a hatnote atop each of the pair (this guideline is specifically when there are no more than two). At some point, 1967-founded Mathematica subdivided into three units: one for the RAMIS database software, one for the often-government-funded economic/econometric research, and another having to do with "Systems" in its title. There is a bit more above/2018. Pi314m (talk) 10:56, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a picture of the documentation

[edit]

Would it be helpful to include a picture of how Wolfram Mathematica's documentation center and help page? I am new to the patterns of Wikipedia. ScientistBuilder (talk) 13:07, 4 August 2021 (UTC)ScientistBuilderScientistBuilder (talk) 13:07, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Version 12.3 Blog Release Notes Source Addition

[edit]

Would it be helpful to include a source detailing the improvements in 12.3 in the sources? The blog is from https://blog.wolfram.com/2021/05/20/launching-version-12-3-of-wolfram-language-mathematica/ and includes updated graphs, control systems, chemistry, and video processing.

New Picture

[edit]

Would it be helpful to include a picture of a more recent version of Mathematica in place of Version 8.0? I think it would be a good idea to because version 13 is going to be released in the few months.

Version 13 Released

[edit]

Mathematica 13 should be listed as the current version. https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2021/12/launching-version-13-0-of-wolfram-language-mathematica/?source=frontpage-carousel — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScientistBuilder (talkcontribs) 00:03, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The current version (13) is listed under stable release in the Infobox. Montesquieu1789 (talk) 00:55, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
