Computational Astronomy: Exploring the Cosmos with Wolfram
This yearâs Global Astronomy Month is off to an exciting start for North America in anticipation of the total solar eclipse on April 8. In light of this momentous event, the following is a list of resources that bring Wolfram Language and astronomy togetherâincluding expert video guides, projects and booksâfor computational astronomers at every level. […] -
Enhance Wind Turbine Design with the New Wolfram System Modeler Rotating Machinery Library
Explore the contents of this article with a free Wolfram System Modeler trial. A wind turbine gearbox, susceptible to erratic wind loads, frequently fails well before its intended lifespan. Such failures, occurring globally, not only cause significant downtime but also lead to substantial economic losses. Can simulations help avoid this? The first animation delves into […] -
How Many Days Would February Have if the Earth Rotated Backward? Exploring Leap Years with Wolfram Language
Happy Leap Day 2024! A leap day is an extra day (February 29) that is added to the Gregorian calendar (the calendar most of us use day to day) in leap years. While leap years most commonly come in four-year intervals, they sometimes come every eight years. This is because a traditional leap day every […] -
Your Invitation to Take a Quantum Leap in Education
Learning quantum theory requires dedication and a willingness to challenge classical assumptions. Quantum interference, particularly for massive particles, is a pivotal example in this journey. The Schrödinger equation, inspired by de Broglieâs hypothesis, revolutionized our understanding by revealing the wavelike nature of even massive particles. This phenomenon not only deepens our grasp of nature but […] -
Reduce Quantum Noise with Wolfram Language and Fire Opal
Practical quantum computers have not entered the mainstream, but that has not stopped researchers and developers from innovating. Simulating quantum results on classical hardware and getting meaningful results from noisy quantum hardware are two important areas with lots of recent innovations. The Wolfram Quantum Framework is a toolkit for Wolfram Language that offers quantum simulations. […] -
Hypergeometric Functions: From Euler to Appell and Beyond
Hypergeometric series appeared in the mid-seventeenth century; since then, they have played an important role in the development of mathematical and physical theories. Most of the elementary and special functions are members of the large hypergeometric class. Hypergeometric functions have been a part of Wolfram Language since Version 1.0. The following plot shows the implementation […] -
Leveling Up in Life Sciences: Unleashing the Power of Computational Biology with Wolfram Language
In days past, life sciences was reserved for those who had access to the proper equipment to observe and experiment with the organisms of the physical world. For todayâs scientist, exploration doesnât end with access to physical encounters. Whether youâre classifying an animal for the first time or using a protein visualizer to develop medication, […] -
The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica
Today we celebrate a new waypoint on our journey of nearly four decades with the release of Version 14.0 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica. Over the two years since we released Version 13.0 weâve been steadily delivering the fruits of our research and development in .1 releases every six months. Today weâre aggregating theseâand moreâinto Version 14.0.

Get Down to Business with Finite Mathematics in Wolfram Language
âThere is every reason to expect that the various social sciences will serve as incentives for the development of great new branches of mathematics and that some day the theoretical social scientist will have to know more mathematics than the physicist needs to know today.â âJohn G. Kemeny, first author of the original textbook on […]
