Math in our times. (New products: tools for schools).Wolfram Research Wolfram Research is an international company that summarizes its aim as "Pushing the Envelope of Technical Computing". The main product of Wolfram Research is Mathematica, an environment for technical computing. , www.wolfram wolfram: see tungsten. . com/products/explorer, Software, $69.95 The Mathematical Explorer is an interactive journey through some of the most fascinating problems in the history of mathematics that have challenged mathematicians from ancient Greece The term ancient Greece refers to the periods of Greek history in Classical Antiquity, lasting ca. 750 BC[1] (the archaic period) to 146 BC (the Roman conquest). It is generally considered to be the seminal culture which provided the foundation of Western Civilization. to today. Included are questions that were only recently solved, such as Fermat's Last Theorem Fermat's last theorem Statement that there are no natural numbers x, y, and z such that xn + yn = zn, in which n is a natural number greater than 2. and the computer proof of the Four-Color Theorem, as well as unsolved problems such as the Riemann Hypothesis. This open-ended, interactive resource to the world of modern mathematics allows visitors to walk in the computational footsteps of the great mathematicians and experience the wonder of discovery that has fascinated amateurs and professionals alike throughout the ages.
