- Graeleight, on 03/09/2008, -0/+24How do you get the egg in the printer?
- inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+21Damn!
I bought Mathematica, now I can't afford the eggs. - cyclopssmiley, on 03/09/2008, -1/+20I use dye to decorate my easter eggs
- mathchemist, on 03/09/2008, -0/+16Stephen Wolfram (creator of Mathematica) is an ***** in real life if you ever get a chance to meet him.
- gradivus, on 03/09/2008, -3/+14Ok,what the hell is Mathmatica,why is a badly colored egg (supposedly made with Mathmatica) that looks like it was done with MS paint in 5 minutes so special to deserve front page on Digg, Seriously,this is one of those annoying articles that appeals to 1% of math nerds and everyone else just sees a standard egg with 5 colors.
- 40yrOldVirgin, on 03/09/2008, -0/+9That's easy. The real question is: How do you get the whole egg out of the printer?
- ulmedas, on 03/09/2008, -1/+9relax.
- dolphus, on 03/09/2008, -0/+7Includes a link to a great article on elliptic curves. Anything that ties fun and goofiness to learning about and creating interest in math is OK in my book!
- Roger, on 03/09/2008, -1/+8I love Mathematica, just wish I had more time to fully learn its complicated (yet beautiful) syntax.
- capiCrimm, on 03/09/2008, -1/+7perhaps you should embrace that Easter and Christmas do more to devoid religion of any meaning then atheism and science put together. Remember, Rome fell from within.
- bakagaigin, on 03/09/2008, -0/+6If you're going to go that route, it would probably be easiest to just..you know...use a real egg.
- Roryking, on 03/09/2008, -0/+6someone didn't get any peeps...
- lekahe, on 03/09/2008, -5/+10Cool!
- apache2, on 03/09/2008, -1/+6looks like I just got my ass kicked when it comes to mathematica skills
- dako, on 03/09/2008, -1/+6Direct link :
http://www.kathryncramer.com/kathryn_cramer/2008/0 ... - Dested, on 03/09/2008, -0/+4I would still be proud to personally know that fact.
- inactive, on 03/09/2008, -1/+5I can make a better looking egg without Mathematica.
- inactive, on 03/09/2008, -1/+4I thought I was geeky but I have to bow to this awesome display of geekdom.
- Dumbledorito, on 03/09/2008, -2/+5Man, "Mathematica." My dad, a college math prof, used to have that program in the early 90's. I think it came on about twenty 3.5 floppies back then or something.
- atskv9, on 03/09/2008, -3/+6Burn in hell Mathematica!
Anyone who's had to use it in college shares the same feeling I do. - eir574, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2But, can the submitter do it in R?
- muuhgnoo, on 03/09/2008, -1/+3There isn't any. Maple is btw proprietary too, but while at it, not so "evil" like Wolfram. There are no open source equivalents for Mathematica. The equivalent of Maple is named "Maxima" and it even predates Maple itself, but is hopelessly outdated und underfeatured compared to maple. This is a list of open source math software for you to use to avoid proprietary lock in with Mathematica, matlab and maple:
http://firefighter.cs.binghamton.edu/mediawiki/ind ... - inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2Yummy!
- inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2no, definitely an egotistical jackass
- ultrafez, on 03/09/2008, -0/+2SAGE: It's open source too
http://www.sagemath.org - samadam, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1It does not. That's the symbolics toolkit, which is not in the standard distro.
- 22magnum, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1or uhh people who go to college and have to use this hellish program in calc 1, so yea probably about 1%
- Severys, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1MATLAB and Mathematica are designed for different tasks. MATLAB is basically a simplified from of the FORTRAN syntax whereas Mathematica is specifically for symbolic Mathematics.
- argo2d, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1omlets!!!!
- whalt, on 03/09/2008, -2/+3Uh, just one? Are there others?
- derjames, on 03/09/2008, -1/+2MATLAB has built in symbolics...
- 22magnum, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1n00b
- Midnightbrewer, on 03/09/2008, -1/+2Yeah, I don't get it. She created a rainbow-striped egg. Unless you can print that directly on the egg, exactly where does this get you? What about other patterns, like a fractal on an egg? That would be cool.
- stuffradio, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1Replied to wrong person..
@Dumbledorito: Don't copy that floppy! - inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1octave is almost entirely compatible with matlab .m scripts
still lacking in the symbolic math, however. - 22magnum, on 03/10/2008, -0/+1yea now it comes in .torrent format or uhh i mean you buy a $150 dvd
- inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1Matlab syntax is much better for programming IMHO
Mathematica is better for one-off click and point solving a problem (it does pretty-printing much better, and has nice pallets full of buttons). Mathematica does handle graphics better though. - ih8ualot, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1Um... check every single integral in calculus?
I'd say that Matematica gave me an A in Calc II for that very reason. - inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1better programming support as well.
not to mention *anything* involving linear algebra / matrices is going to be much easier in matlab - inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1http://firefighter.cs.binghamton.edu/mediawiki/ind ...
digg borked your link (srsly digg crew, when are you going to fix this?) - inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1spam alot
- Roger, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1I wouldn't say it was better, just easier to learn. Its also less flexible and elegant.
- inactive, on 03/09/2008, -0/+1goddam spam

- wstein, on 03/09/2008, -0/+0Here is a similar egg, but with translucency created by Marshall Hampton (not me) using Sage (http://sagemath.org), which is a free open source alternative to Mathematica.
- samadam, on 03/09/2008, -1/+1Hell no. I have used mathematica and MATLAB extensively and for my work mathematica is way better. Built in symbolics? Yes please!
- Rikkio, on 04/08/2008, -0/+0Wow, nice - $150 imho http://www.yasalsa.com/user/261
