Mathematica 7

December 3rd, 2008

mathematica geese

The new version of Mathematica apparently does some really nifty image and video processing. I’m looking forward to scripting image manipulations in a real programming language (I’m looking at you, Photoshop). It even does edge detection! Wolfram posted a brief tutorial on their blog which shows off some awesomeness.

Tomorrow morning Harry Schwartz is heading right down to the IT desk to pick up his university-purchased copy (Harry Schwartz sees no reason to ever leave academia).

Additionally! If my blog isn’t lying to me, this is the 100th post! I didn’t really intend for this mystical number to be used up on an unpaid shill for Wolfram, but that’s just how it goes. Maybe I’ll save #200 for Noam Chomsky.*

*Who Julia has still not invited to come speak at Ursinus! I called Hofstadter! We had a deal! =P
