MaplePrimes - answers and comments on Question, Numb3rs, Maple and Wolframs Mathematica

Numb3rs

I'm also a fan of that show, but I don't recall seeing Mathematica actually mentioned or shown on the show. If it ever happens, you can be sure that some money has changed hands: the phrase is "product placement".

By the way, your link doesn't work. Try it without the "www".

Wolfram is numb3rs chief math consultant

I'm not sure if mathematica is mentioned anywhere in the show but from wikipedia it states "Wolfram Research (the maker of Mathematica) is the chief math consultant, reviewing scripts and providing background mathematics for the show."

Thanks for the link correction, just take out the www in the address and it will work. Here's the link: http://numb3rs.wolfram.com I haven't had a good chance to fully read the links to each of the episodes, they seem to be done fairly well.

Maybe someone could start a numb3rs blog here at mapleprimes and make worksheets associated to each episode.

It sounds like Chistopher is

It sounds like Chistopher is the volunteer we need. --- G A Edgar

Can maple even do all that ??

I looked at the link , and I have never seen maple demonstrate its capabilities to do things like some of that ... like image regeneration ??

Maybe it can, but I haven't seen it .. Maple perhaps needs to advertise itself better ... demonstrate what it can do.

I use tecplot for making figures, and I had no clue what it could do until I looked at the tecplot website, and was AMAZED at the animations and 3D pictures it creates.
