- Cartesian Chaos (exe)
- "Mathematics as we know it is in grave danger Once a millennium, thousands of spiteful rectangular expressions migrate toward the origin of the cartesian plane, intent on ending their tortured existence. And that time is now. Luckily, each one has a weakness. A result which will unravel them from within....

- CAD software leads to faster chips
- Even if some scientists want to replace silicon by carbon to create faster computer chips, other researchers are developing faster integrated circuits from silicon by simply using computer-aided design CAD software based on better mathematical algorithms than commercial software. A UCLA team has shown that it is possible to reduce...

- Why Mathematica violates basic rules of math conduct
- In an editorial published by the American Mathematical Society, mathematicians from the US Naval Academy and the University of Washington noted that, because so much mathematical research is now conducted using proprietary software like Mathematica, much of the ability to meaningfully review such research is being lost. As the...

- Is software a form of applied Mathematics?
- Last week's licensing discussions sprouted an interesting, if off topic, thread on a number of computer language related issues. One of the issues raised strikes me as fairly fundamental: is software a form of applied mathematics?Here's how occasional contributor b3timmons stated one side of this argument in response to...

- If calculators=Chuck E. Cheese employee, then computers=?writing utensilsA good article, generally, and a view I can support from first appreciations in using computers widely in a research laboratory very-long-ago-when-their-availability-was-new.But I would like to ask. Why the prejudice among math-based types against pens?I remember leading my class long ago in...
