How Long to Boil an Egg? FEM Modeling with Wolfram Language

It’s time to answer the question on any breakfast-lover’s mind: “How long do I boil an egg?” While it seems so simple—place an egg in boiling water and wait—it would be remiss to say a fully hard-boiled egg is the only way to enjoy a delightful protein boost. We can use the finite element method (FEM) to simulate the conditions of an egg in water and find the ideal temperature and duration for the perfect egg by assessing temperature changes within the egg itself. We can then predict how long it takes to reach various consistencies, such as a runny yolk or a crumbly, fully set yolk.

Four Ways to Use Wolfram Notebook Assistant This Semester

If you’ve just been handed a syllabus with “Wolfram” or “Mathematica” listed in your materials this semester, it may feel a little daunting to learn a new language and environment. But have no fear! Whether you’re solving integrals, running simulations or just trying to finish your assignment before midnight, Wolfram Notebook Assistant is built for your success. Designed to help you focus on ideas instead of syntax, it’s like having a built-in tutor, editor and coding partner—all in one.

A Whole New Ball Game: Game Theory in Wolfram Language 14.2

Do you want to make optimal decisions against competition? Do you want to analyze competitive contexts and predict outcomes of competitive events? Do you need to elaborate strategies and plans against adversity and test the effectiveness of those strategies? Or are you simply an undergraduate student struggling to cope with a required course on game theory at your college?

Using AI for Thematic Analysis: Analyzing Coroner Reports with LLMs

In the United Kingdom, Prevention of Future Deaths forms (PFDs) play a crucial role in ensuring public safety. This is a special type of coroner report that documents more than just the circumstances of an individual’s death. PFDs are issued when a coroner investigates a death and rules that a specific risk or systemic failure—deemed as preventable—has played a significant role in said death.
