Wolfram Reinvents Mathematica
A Dramatic New Product Nearly 20 Years after the Original
May 1, 2007--For the second time in under 20 years, Wolfram Research is bringing a revolution to computing. The first was Mathematica 1.0 in 1988. Today's is Mathematica 6--in many respects a completely new product, one with several hundred additional groundbreaking technologies developed over more than a decade at Wolfram Research.

"In compatibility terms, Mathematica 6 is an upgrade. In capability terms, this is a major new product," said Stephen Wolfram, CEO of Wolfram Research. "Mathematica's been reinvented."

Mathematica 6 takes technical computing to a new level: more tightly bound, more natural, and more automated, applicable to a far wider range of areas than ever before. Central to this achievement is "instant interactivity"--taking models, simulations, computations, or just about any concepts and turning them into fully interactive applications, sometimes within seconds. This new way of working drastically improves innovation--the process of transforming ideas into highly optimized results.

"In 1988, Mathematica transformed scientific computing from something you hire a programmer to do into something you can just do yourself. In 2007, we are doing the same for live interactive interface creation," said Theodore Gray, director of user interface technology. "No other system comes close to providing this kind of nimble, fluid environment for creating dynamic interactive interfaces, which, because of the underlying power of Mathematica, often turn out to have astonishing depth and variety."

Over 1,000 examples of these interactive capabilities have already been posted to The Wolfram Demonstrations Project.

It's not just for instant development that Mathematica 6 is newly optimized. The integrated development environment (IDE), allied with Mathematica's advanced programming language and world-leading computational capabilities, makes it ideal for the opposite end of the spectrum--infrastructure development--and everything in between.

"It's a unique facet of Mathematica 6 that it's so appropriate at all scales: from one-off mini-applications through large-scale infrastructure projects," said Tom Wickham-Jones, director of kernel technology. "Whenever you think of doing technical development, think of Mathematica 6."

"These days, the main hurdle to using Mathematica in technical work is thinking of using it--its scope is wider than almost anyone imagines," added Conrad Wolfram, director of strategic and international development.

Nearly a thousand new computational and interface features enhance Mathematica 6's revolutionary new approach. Several of these would individually classify Version 6 as a major release, and some broaden Mathematica to encompass the capabilities of whole competing products.

Key new features include:

Dynamic interactivity, allowing sophisticated interactive interfaces to be created from single lines of input
High-impact adaptive visualization for automated creation of high-fidelity function and data graphics
Language for data integration, including automatic integration of hundreds of standard data formats
Load-on-demand curated data for math, physics, chemistry, finance, geography, linguistics, and more
Symbolic interface construction for immediate creation of arbitrary interfaces from simple programs
Automated computational aesthetics, with algorithmic optimization for visual presentation
Unification of active graphics and controls with flowing text and input

Mathematica 6 also introduces hundreds of other capabilities and enhancements for:

Integrated geometric computing · Fully automated graph layout · Combinatorial optimization · Constrained nonlinear optimization · New-generation numerical integration · New classes of special functions · Extended number-theory support · Equational theorem proving · Exploratory data analysis · Symbolic statistical computing · High-level string computation · Extended array operations · Symbolic sound support · Dynamic graphical input · Integrated graphics editing and drawing · Real-time 3D graphics · Built-in gamepad and human interface device (HID) support · 3D printing and scanning support · Instant multimedia programming · Streamlined presentations · Automated table layout · Symbolic report generation · Real-time code annotation · Instant high-level debugging · Extensive in-product and web-based documentation

"We've built the highest base of functionality consistently across all technical areas--quite a different concept than our competitors'," said Roger Germundsson, director of research and development. "They make spikes of specialist functionality--which might work if your needs sit on a spike, but miss completely if you have to do something just a little different, new, or innovative."

"We thought about renaming Mathematica altogether," said Stephen Wolfram. "It's that new. But we decided instead to highlight the ongoing importance of its original symbolic architecture by just calling it Mathematica 6."

Availability

Mathematica 6 is available for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista, Mac OS X, Linux x86/Itanium, Solaris UltraSPARC/x86, HP-UX, IBM AIX, and compatible systems. More product details are available on the Mathematica website.

6.06

只有1个回复，看来需要数学软件的同学不多，因此我就不发了！

我也想要！传上来吧

连版主都不支持，我还发什么呀？mathematica是最好的字符运算工具,5.2也用的最多；但要500多M，6.06也很大。如果没有好的网络通道很难传上来！

...去申请上传.. 可能ftp上有了... 这个不属于我管

喔，既然有了，我就不传了！谢谢版主！

我已经尝试上传mathematica5.2,历经数十分钟后，以失败告终！
