Wolfram Mathematica Online Integrator

Has anyone used the Wolfram Mathematica Online Integrator[^]? Looks pretty cool.

Looks like a gateway drug for all sorts of nasty things: partial differential equations, numerical methods, :shudder:.

Fold With Us![^]I'd :love: to go back to PDEs. On the other hand, numerical methods weren't particularly to my taste. I think my favourite was Group theory, though.
Cheers, Vıkram.

I have the same problem with a lot of mathematics that I do with a lot of software technologies: vocabulary. No one ever explains their cute terminology in conventional terms. Microsoft's COM was about the worst for that.

it's been so long since i've done one (20 years, probably), that i can't even remember how to handle something as basic as x^2 ...

Same here but to my surprise I was able to get the answer to x^2 before testing it in the calculator. :) But I'm sure there would be other parts of maths where I'd be stumped!

I studied some of that on an Open University course many years ago and found it quite tough.

I haven't seen the book. Is it really a tough reading? The automata book we used in the automata class I took was pretty tough. The teacher was really good, and made it make more sense.

No it's not. Have never had an automata class, but this one is mostly figures of every possible example and an explanation. It's a very good book, but he uses the word I a lot and appears conceited. He's proud of the fact that he found the least working combination of some type of automata. Hence, the arrogance. Ignoring that, it's good. Stephen Wolfram: A New Kind of Science[^]

Lucky you. For my Master's work, it was a required course.

I would find that bothersome.

Nice, thanks.

Yep. Would have been nice to have around when I took calculus in school :)

:laugh: Now, did you check the results by hand for proof of correctness?

Yes, but unfortunately there were no computers in school when I went, hell I remember in grade school learning math with an Abacus :-D

I recall that. I had a physics teacher who did not allow calculators on the exams, but he was okay about using a slide rule.

Ah, the slide rule. If you could use one with some amount of proficiency you were considered a geek. Perhaps the prerequisite for the computer geek? :)

As I think back on it, that is what he was trying to imply :-D

Sure, but to him, it was perhaps more along the lines of science/math/physics geek. It was something to be proud of :)

Are you kidding me? It was required at both the Undergraduate and Graduate levels for me. Automata, not counting Turing Machines and the halting problem :shudder: is incredible fun. Considering an article for it too.

At my alma mater, it was an elective for undergrads and required core for graduate students. If I had known I was going to go back for my Master's I would have taken it as an undergrad because they had a loophole that if you took it as an undergrad, you didn't need to take it as a graduate student, but take an extra elective course to make up for the credits/units.

If you're into mathematical and symbolic processing, you really ought to check out Maple by Maple Soft[^] VERY impressive software. I'd be more than happy to mutilate several Lounge and SB trolls to work with them.

As a graduate student, I took a course called Super Visualization that had to do with data modeling/mining/etc in which our instructor showed up Maple, SciLab, and a handful of other goodies. I've always thought that minitab[^] was really helpful in my statistics class. The teacher who taught it the first time I took it, pretty much swore (praise, not lash out at it in a vulgar manner) by it.
