Looking to the Future of A New Kind of Science
(This is the third in a series of posts about A New Kind of Science. Previous posts have covered the original reaction to the book and what’s happened since it was published.) Today ten years have passed since A New Kind of Science (“the NKS book”) was published. But in many ways the development that started with [...]

One Year of Daily Tips from @MathematicaTip
It’s been one year since we launched our Twitter feed for bite-sized Mathematica hints and tips! Thousands of people follow @MathematicaTip to get a new tip every day, Monday through Friday, covering everything from keyboard shortcuts: Instead of using % to refer to the most recent output, try Ctrl+Shift+L (Mac: Cmd+Shift+L) to directly insert the [...]

Analyzing Your Email with Mathematica
In Stephen Wolfram’s recent blog post about personal analytics, he showed a number of plots generated by analyzing his archive of personal data. One of the most common pieces of feedback we received was that people wanted to know how they could perform the same kind of analysis on their own data. So in this [...]
