For a glimpse from Chapter 2 of The Graphics GuideBook, read about the construction of the Version 6 logo image and download the notebook linked from Michael's blog post " Making the Mathematica 6 Spikey". May 2007: Mathematica Version 6 is out, and the plan is to have updated editions of the GuideBooks in Summer 2008. How to use Mathematica 6 computational and graphicsĬapabilities to visualize Riemann surfaces.

October 2007: At the Wolfram Technology Conference, Michael gave a talk about

Complex pendulum oscillations in complex Time from Chapter 3 of the Symbolic volume.Interacting vortices in a disk from Chapter 2 of the Numerics volume.Array of spiral from Chapter 1 of the Graphics volume.Riemann surfaces of inverse trigonometric functions from Chapter 2 of the Programming volume.Various existing examples and application problems from the published GuideBooks will have interactive versions in the new edition, for instance: Inside and outside billiards in magnetic fields.Finite difference discretizations of the Laplace operator.Rolling penny on a plane-a simple example of an non-holonomic mechanical system.These sample eggs may give you some ideas.įebruary 2008: Some excerpts of new, Version 6-based content for the second edition of the GuideBooks is available through the Wolfram Demonstration site. Note: the player notebook requires either Mathematica Version 6, or the free Mathematica Version 6 player. The notebook will be expanded and included in the Version 6 edition of the Graphics volume. No mess in the kitchen! This Easter egg player notebook (2.2MB) lets you choose different colors and patterns for your eggs. March 2008: A neat interactive way to decorate eggs for Easter. zip archive includes interactive examples, export examples, and some new and favorite animations. July 2008: For the 2008 International Mathematica Symposium Michael prepared a talk about doing physics with Mathematica 6. So, rather than having new versions in Summer 2008, the expected date is sometime in 2009. July 2009: Wolfram|Alpha has enjoyed quite some attention, but required a good portion of time, so the Guidebooks will not come out in 2009.Īugust 2008: Although Mathematica Version 6 has been released, updating the GuideBooks is taking longer than predicted. Quicktime movie of talk slides, at 10 seconds each. Michael spoke briefly (as is the guideline of the Pecha-Kucha series) about visualization of mathematics and physics. The Twin Cities were among a handful of small towns selected to host the traveling talk series. September 2009: Michael spoke at the Champaign–Urbana Pecha Kucha Night.
