New Resources
MathWorld
Major enhancements have been made to MathWorld, the web's most
extensive mathematics resource, which now features interactive
webMathematica-powered calculators and graphs, dynamic 3D
visualization tools, colorful animations, and more. Complementing
these additions to the main site, the MathWorld Classroom is
also newly online, providing quick introductions to topics
in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, precalculus, calculus,
number theory, and all other high school math
courses. Visit MathWorld at mathworld.wolfram.com.
Wolfram Notebook Indexer for Spotlight and Google
Desktop Search
Wolfram Notebook Indexer is now available for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger's
Spotlight and as a free public beta for Google Desktop Search. This
new plug-in, included with Mathematica 5.2, lets users perform
text searches of all Wolfram notebook (.nb) documents on
their local hard drives, including those that are a part
of Mathematica's online help system. Download the Google
Desktop Search plug-in at library.wolfram.com/infocenter/Utilities/5596 or
the Spotlight plug-in at
library.wolfram.com/infocenter/Utilities/5614.
Wolfram Teacher Network
High school teachers in math and science can sign up now to join the
Wolfram Teacher Network, a newly expanded free educational resource
built around the guidance of Mathematica mentors. The program
offers experienced and expert advice to teachers who want to push the
limits of traditional classroom learning with Mathematica. The
Wolfram Teacher Network is also looking for more Mathematica
mentors, and all teachers who share an enthusiasm for
Mathematica are encouraged to apply. For more information, go
to www.wolfram.com/precollege/network.
Wiki-webMathematica
Luc Barthelet, senior vice president at Electronic Arts and general
manager for Maxis during the development of The Sims video games, has
launched Wiki-webMathematica, a new online Mathematica
user forum that utilizes the power of webMathematica with the
freedom of the wiki user interface. It supplements MathGroup (forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup) by
allowing Mathematica users to add and edit content--including
their notebooks, which are properly displayed online. Visit
Wiki-webMathematica at
www.mathematica-users.org.
