Over at the Wolfram blog, they’ve been posting bits from the last Mathematica conference. Very interesting stuff about what’s coming in future releases. The whole post has a ton of content, but one thing that caught my eye in particular:
[...] OK, yet another area. It almost made it into Version 7, but we weren’t quite happy with it. A general subsystem for dealing with wavelets. Integrating wavelets into everything they can be. Images. Signals. And symbolic computation. Dealing in effect in a quite general way with nested as well as periodic decompositions.
Yeah!
There’s already an add-on called Wavelet Explorer, but I imagine what they’re cooking up will be much more interesting.
Also lots more stuff fundamental to financial computation and plots are on the way!
TEASE! :)
E.
Yeah, and the add-on Wavelet Explorer costs almost twice as much as Mathematica Home does.
Is this ‘home’ version a new thing, because I’ve always just paid the $1.5k or whatever it costs. Recently I get emails offering a home edition for like $250. hmmm…..
I don’t know how new it is. I just happened to check into it a little bit ago and was very surprised to see this home version that supposedly had all the features of the normal product… I had never really used mathematica (very briefly in college) because of the expense, but… at that price, I might consider it.
