Wolfram Research Releases Mathematica 7

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the just-installing-it-would-make-me-feel-dumber dept.

mblase writes "Wolfram Research has released the seventh version of Mathematica, and it does a lot more than symbolic algebra. New features range from things as simple as cut-and-paste integration with Microsoft Word's Equation Editor to instant 3D models of mathematical objects to the most expensive clone of Photoshop ever. Full suites of genome, chemical, weather, astronomical, financial, and geodesic data (or support for same) is designed to make Mathematica as invaluable for scientific research as it is for mathematics."

    That sounds like an ITALIAN word. I always suspected that "math" was a Papal conspiracy. Accounting is American, and "mathematica" is some tutti frutti Italian fraud that should not be allowed in CHURCH.

    I hate Mathematica - got so confused with the funny symbols in version 1 that I haven't been back. I'm a visual sort of guy, so I'm just glad that Photoshop is better. We're at 11.
