Released in November 2008, Mathematica 7 is a major release that accelerates the drive to integrate and automate functionality as core Mathematica capabilities, adding image processing, parallel high-performance computing (HPC), new on-demand curated data, and other recently developed computational innovations–in total over 500 new functions and 12 application areas.

It is only $140 for students, and only $250 for non-students for personal use. So, I have no idea where you got this $2,500 from. May be you are thinking about Matlab?
@Gytax0 Yeah I know, but it only plotted a few points. For example, (-1)^2/3 = 1, but it didn’t plot it. But I guess It cant plot every root, otherwise you’ll be getting a lot of points for the one thing, eg. (-1)^1/10 has 10 different answers. I’m not sure which ones it chooses to plot. It’s not “wrong” but its not “right” either.
@TheLennyXD It can’t get it wrong. Maybe you didn’t type in clear enough?
Typing ‘ -1^x ‘ isn’t equal to typing ‘ (-1)^x ‘ .
@Gytax0 It didn’t get it right lol. Its wrong! :O!
@TheLennyXD Try WolframAlpha.
@Gytax0 Haha ok. Absolutely nothing I have seen has been able to give me any insight on this so far, not even google
I may have to try it.
@TheLennyXD Mathematica does this for breakfast.
Can this graph y=-1^x?
Very powerful tool
@sharpezor a bit paradoxical,don’t you think?
Agree with almost everyone here. I live in Ecuador. Minimum wage is at $270. Paying $120 for a (standard student) licence is a bit step for me. I’ll pay it, because I believe it is a very powerful tool, but nonetheless, for students, it should be free.
This should be free for students and people that are not using it to make money. Companies that use this to make money should have to be the ones that pay for it.
@sharpezor if Newton had mathematica we’d probably have colonized the entire universe by now
@caradi42 Yeah that sounds about right. I lol’d and have no further questions.
@lozleigh oh yeah, and the two 24″ monitors came from a government stimulus check. so those where pretty much free also. any other questions?
@cindytg87 Yeah man I watched a video on youtube once and it really opened my eyes to the corporate pig dogs ruling over our capitalist state! Just wondering though, did you buy your pc with money or fairy dust?
they say powrfull 1000 times
the home edition costs about £250
@cindytg87 I think you may be right about the people at mathematica would have done it without money. Math is self rewarding in its self.
would love to get the full version to play around with it, but i simply can’t afford 2.5k
@dixonpete
The broad masses have no use for it.
However, the poor-yet-ambitious know where to look on the internet.
hello, may i ask how to use mathematica to create autograms such as ”This sentence contains only three a’s, three c’s, two d’s, twenty-five e’s, nine f’s, four g’s, eight h’s, twelve i’s, three l’s, fifteen n’s, nine o’s, eight r’s, twenty-four s’s, eighteen t’s, five u’s, four v’s, six w’s, two x’s, and four y’s.” ?
can it work in french too?
i already installed mathematica but still not very good at it…
@dixonpete Dude I was able to get the student addition for $12!
@3li3li3li your a bit trapped in the world of money. google and watch Zeitgeist: Addendum and educate yourself so you dont look like such a capitalist.
Profit is the worst thing to work toward. The guys at wolfram are math enthusiasts… The company only organized and directed those people to make a profit from their combined efforts and interests…the same could have happened without that profit motive. None of the people that discovered mathematics did it for money.
@dixonpete That’s what torrents are for. To stop people standing on the shoulders of giants and holding everything out of reach of the general public. This tool is world changing…why put a price tag. Damn profit motive.They should just make it open-source and continue selling there educational programs to show people how to use it…But of course that’s a horrible idea…the software would double in power in just a few years of it where O-S, seeing how incredible the demonstrations project is.
