Conrad Wolfram - Making Maths Beautiful


Conrad Wolfram, Mathematician Founder, Wolfram Research Europe. The importance of math to jobs, society and thinking has exploded over the last few decades. Meanwhile, math education has gotten stuck or has even slipped backward. Why has this chasm opened up? It's all about computers: when they do the calculating, people can work on harder questions, try more concepts, and play with a multitude of new ideas. Conrad Wolfram discusses a new project to build a completely new math curriculum with computer-based computation at its heart - alongside a campaign to refocus math education away from historical hand-calculating techniques and toward relevant and conceptually interesting topics. Presented at the Learning Without Frontiers Conference, January 25th 2012, London www.learningwithoutfrontiers.com

The Periodic Table Table Featuring Theo Gray


Some people collect stamps. Wolfram Research co-founder and author Theo Gray collects elements. Step into his office, and you'll see a silicon disc engraved with Homer Simpson, a jar of mercury, uranium shells and thousands of other chemical artifacts. But his real DIY masterpiece is the world's first "periodic table table." Within this masterfully constructed table-top lay samples of nearly every element known to man, minus the super-radioactive ones. Theo Gray is 2011 winner of the ACS Grady Stack Award for Interpreting Chemistry for the Public. The Periodic Table Table is a testament to Theo's love for chemistry -- as well as his Ebay buying habits -- and is full of fascinating stories. Come see for yourself in the latest episode of Bytesize Science.

Applications of GPU Computation in Mathematica


With Mathematica, the enormous parallel processing power of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) can be used from an integrated built-in interface. Incorporating GPU technology into Mathematica allows high-performance solutions to be developed in many areas such as financial simulation, image processing, and modeling. GPU program creation and deployment is fully integrated with Mathematica's high-level development tools and this gives a productivity boost to move from prototype to large-scale solution. In this recorded presentation from the Wolfram Technology Conference 2011, Ulises Cervantes-Pimentel describes how to compute and program using the new GPU capabilities in Mathematica 8.

Sharing Wisdom Gained from Publishing a CDF ebook


The print version of Calculus: Early Transcendentals, by Briggs, Cochran, Gillett, and Schulz, Addison-Wesley/Pearson Education, contains almost 1000 pages. The electronic version of the complete text was created from scratch as a Computable Document Format (CDF) ebook composed of 113 files, collectively containing 648 interactive figures. Navigation between any two sections of the ebook and to specific items within a section requires only two mouse clicks. The CDF ebook is distributed to thousands of students enrolled at hundreds of colleges directly from Pearson's MyMathLab website. In this video presentation from the Wolfram Technology Conference 2011, Eric Schulz, author of the CDF ebook, shares wisdom gained from the experience of designing, creating, managing, and publishing the electronic version of Calculus.
