New Function Navigator, an easily browsable overview of all Mathematica objects
Several additional documentation enhancements, including performance improvements, indexing, and link trails
Full 64-bit performance on Intel Macs
Improved performance of Import/Export converters on Mac and Unix
Significant speedup in import of binary data files
Improved handling of graphics when exporting to TeX and PDF
Enhanced import of metadata from FITS astronomical image files
New coordinate-picking tool and improved highlighting of graphical selections for interactive graphics
The most important advance in the 20-year history of Mathematica
Building on two decades of world-class algorithm and software development, Mathematica 6 represents a dramatic breakthrough that immensely broadens Mathematica's scope and applicability—and redefines the very way we think about computation. Made possible by Mathematica's unique symbolic architecture, Mathematica 6 introduces a sweeping unification of language and interface concepts that makes possible a new level of automation in algorithmic computation, interactive manipulation and dynamic presentation—as well as a whole new way of interacting with the world of data.
Dynamic Interactivity
Mathematica 6 brings a revolution in the concept of interactive computing—for the first time allowing dynamic interfaces to be created instantly as a routine part of everyday work. Based on a series of inventions at Wolfram Research, Mathematica 6 builds on Mathematica's powerful core symbolic architecture to allow sophisticated interactive interfaces to be created from single lines of input—as easily as getting answers to simple calculations.
High-Impact Adaptive Visualization
Mathematica 6 dramatically redefines the world of desktop visualization, providing for the first time complete automation of the process of creating high-fidelity high-impact 2D, 3D and dynamic visualizations of functions and data. Based on major new computational geometric methods developed at Wolfram Research, Mathematica 6 uses the unique architecture of Mathematica to automate every aspect of the visualization pipeline, from analysis to sampling, feature detection, aesthetic choice and final rendering.
Language for Data Integration
Mathematica 6 introduces a major new level of automation in handling external data. Supporting hundreds of formats and subformats across a full range of areas, Mathematica 6 builds on Mathematica's unique symbolic architecture to provide a unified language for converting between external data and uniform Mathematica symbolic expressions—defining a major new level of capability for digital workflow management.
Load-on-Demand Curated Data
Mathematica 6 pioneers the powerful concept of built-in computable data sources. An efficient load-on-demand mechanism makes hundreds of gigabytes of carefully curated and continually updated data immediately available inside Mathematica for use in computations. Mathematica 6 introduces major collections of data in mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, linguistics and finance—all organized and aggregated for the first time by Wolfram Research for direct use in computations.
Symbolic Interface Construction
Mathematica 6 redefines user interface programming—for the first time making it realistic for non-experts to create highly sophisticated and customized interfaces. By integrating interface elements into Mathematica's unique symbolic language framework, Mathematica 6 allows arbitrary interfaces to be represented directly in terms of high-level symbolic controls that can immediately be connected to arbitrary dynamic computations—and laid out using Mathematica's rich tabular, document and graphical capabilities.
Automated Computational Aesthetics
Mathematica 6 brings to fruition a major Wolfram Research initiative in the use of advanced algorithmic methods—combined with award-winning graphic design—to automate the process of immediately creating cognitively and aesthetically compelling material, for the first time allowing final-quality presentation to be achieved routinely throughout the working process.
Unification of Graphics, Text & Controls
Mathematica 6 achieves for the first time a dramatic unification that deeply integrates fully editable and active graphics, text, math, tables, controls and user interfaces in every aspect of both input and output. Building on Mathematica's unique symbolic architecture and notebook document paradigm, Mathematica 6 allows all these elements to be mixed and connected at the finest scales, immediately allowing a remarkable range of important new forms of display and interaction.
