Wolfram Research
Wolfram Research announced in July a remarkable milestone for the Wolfram Demonstrations Project: the 5,000th demonstration was published on the innovative website Wolfram Research created two years ago as a new paradigm for exploring ideas. The Demonstrations Project is a daily growing collection of instructional, interactive models all created in Wolfram Research's flagship software Mathematica and contributed by users from around the world. The project is a free resource that has grown to cover nearly every imaginable area of technical endeavor and is used in all levels of education, front-line research, commercial presentations, and more. The growth and popularity of the Demonstrations Project represents a massive change in the way technical ideas are communicated. "This makes the Demonstrations Project the largest collection of open, instructional applets anywhere," said Conrad Wolfram, Director of Strategic & International Development at Wolfram Research. "And it's also much needed proof that you can create a viable and vibrant technical publishing ecosystem based on interactive applications rather than dead documents—pivotal to moving technical communication into a major new era." Read more about the publishing of the 5,000th Demonstration on the Wolfram Blog. www.wolfram.com
