Mathematica 8 Is Full Of Surprises!



Since it's the coolest tool I've ever seen, so I can't help spreading the new idea.
Here's more detail, enjoy!


I still remembered the 1st time I used Mathematica when I was only 16.
The version 5 of this software was introduced to a group of high school students in a short-term course held by my math teacher. Honestly, due to the lack of experience in practical problems, I didn't realize how powerful it was. For me it was merely a "really cool calculator" then. The thinking never changed until taking Electromagnetics this semester, where I learned some powerful numerical analysis methods and actually implemented/presented them using Mathematica, which was sort of brand new and exciting experience for me, since I've never used any kinds of 4GL before. Now it has became a tool that I use almost everyday to solve problems and help me understand the concepts in lectures by visualizing them.
