Mathematica – High End Mathematical Visualization

in Visualization

Mathematica is a general computing environment, organizing many algorithmic, visualization, and user interface capabilities within a document-like user interface. It is proprietary software used extensively in educational and research settings. Mathematica’s front end makes laying out computations very simple. Some criticize the difficulty of debugging procedures.  It is relatively expensive software (around $2-$3 thousand a seat, less in academic settings), and it is definitely designed for state-of-the-art, math-intense implementations.  Competitive products include Maple, Matlab, and to some extent Excel.

Jeff Bryant has a nice site where he has a gallery of visualizations in Mathematica.  The images below are from the first of several pages of examples on Jeff’s site.  Click on the images to enlarge them. You should check out his site here.
