Leveling Up in Life Sciences: Unleashing the Power of Computational Biology with Wolfram Language
Get Down to Business with Finite Mathematics in Wolfram Language
“There is every reason to expect that the various social sciences will serve as incentives for the development of great new branches of mathematics and that some day the theoretical social scientist will have to know more mathematics than the physicist needs to know today.”
—John G. Kemeny, first author of the original textbook on finite mathematics and co-inventor of the BASIC programming language
Finite mathematics gives students a mathematical toolkit used in fields as diverse as business, economics, sociology and biology while covering techniques that are logically distinct from calculus.

Creamy or Crunchy: Visualizing Food Protein Structures in Wolfram Language
How important is the relationship between protein structure and the food we eat?
- Protein structure influences food texture. It can make a food smooth and creamy or crisp and crunchy.
- Protein structure helps determine digestibility. Proteins with looser structures are more readily hydrolyzed into amino acids for easier digestion.
- Protein structure is a factor in whether foods such as peanuts and shellfish cause an allergic reaction.
- Protein structure can make our foods elegant and appetizing.
Introducing Chat Notebooks: Integrating LLMs into the Notebook Paradigm
We originally invented the concept of “Notebooks” back in 1987, for Version 1.0 of Mathematica. And over the past 36 years, Notebooks have proved to be an incredibly convenient medium in which to do—and publish—work (and indeed, I, for example, have created hundreds of thousands of them). And, yes, eventually the basic concepts of Notebooks […]
Prompts for Work & Play: Launching the Wolfram Prompt Repository
Prompts are how one channels an LLM to do something. LLMs in a sense always have lots of “latent capability” (e.g. from their training on billions of webpages). But prompts—in a way that’s still scientifically mysterious—are what let one “engineer” what part of that capability to bring out.
