It’s horribly difficult to know how and when you can validly undo Mathematica computations-but in Mathematica 10 we’ve finally managed to solve this to the point of having a practical multiple undo.Īnother very obvious change in Mathematica 10 is that plots and graphics have a fresh new default look (you can get the old look with an option setting, of course):Īnd as in lots of other areas, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. And there’s also-as much requested by the user community-computation-aware multiple undo. And there’s also a hovering help box that lets you immediately get function templates or documentation. Like there’s now autocompletion everywhere-for option values, strings, wherever. If you’re an existing Mathematica user, you’ll notice some changes when you start using notebooks in Mathematica 10. Instead, it maintains all the advantages of running these natively on your local computer-but connects to the Wolfram Cloud so it can have cloud-based files and other forms of cloud-mediated sharing, as well as the ability to access cloud-based parts of the Wolfram Knowledgebase. Unlike Wolfram Programming Cloud-or the upcoming Mathematica Online- Mathematica 10 doesn’t run its interface or computations in the cloud. One is that Mathematica 10 is set up to connect immediately to the Wolfram Cloud. When you first launch Mathematica 10 there are some things you’ll notice right away. It’s also a mixture of things I’ve long planned for us to do-but which had to wait for us to develop the necessary technology-together with things I’ve only fairly recently realized we’re in a position to tackle. So what is the new functionality in Mathematica 10? It’s a mixture of completely new areas and directions (like geometric computation, machine learning and geographic computation)-together with extensive strengthening, polishing and expanding of existing areas. It is satisfying to see such a long curve of accelerating development-and to realize that there are more new functions being added with Mathematica 10 than there were functions altogether in Mathematica 1. And in effect Mathematica is now an application of the Wolfram Language.īut Mathematica still very much has its own identity too-as our longtime flagship product, and the system that has continually redefined technical computing for more than a quarter of a century.Īnd today, with Mathematica 10, more is new than in any single previous version of Mathematica. One of the recent outgrowths-from combining Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha and more-has been the creation of the Wolfram Language. But it has always made sense to me-and the success of Mathematica and our company has allowed us to take a very long-term view, continually investing in building layer upon layer of long-term technology. We’ll probably never know whether our commitment to R&D over all these years makes sense at a purely commercial level. And it is also satisfying to see how far we’ve gotten with all the talent and hard work that has been poured into Mathematica over nearly three decades. But Mathematica 10-released today-represents the single biggest jump in new functionality in the entire history of Mathematica.Īt a personal level it is very satisfying to see after all these years how successful the principles that I defined at the very beginning of the Mathematica project have proven to be. And ever since we’ve been systematically making Mathematica ever bigger, stronger, broader and deeper. We released Mathematica 1 just over 26 years ago-on June 23, 1988. Today I’m pleased to announce the release of a major new version of Mathematica: Mathematica 10. Two weeks ago we launched Wolfram Programming Cloud. Wolfram Knowledgebase Curated computable knowledge powering Wolfram|Alpha.We’ve got an incredible amount of new technology coming out this summer. Wolfram Universal Deployment System Instant deployment across cloud, desktop, mobile, and more. Wolfram Data Framework Semantic framework for real-world data.
