Wolfram Language and Mathematica now FREE for Raspberry Pi

I wonder If it can be installed it on PC wusing multiarch and run under qemu.

For a good time: install ntp

Maybe the license that comes with it prohibits that, it does say non-commercial use only. You have to click OK on the eula else it does not install.

I did notice Raspi downloaded an extra 200 MB+ of java stuff, altogether almost a GB? Had to erase some other files while it was downloading to make space :-)

Wolfram says it is an educational too, and indeed.

Wolfram language can do I/O (flipper a GPIO pin) at YES 3.5 kHz!!!!!! Yes that is Kilo Hertz.

I do not want to write a critical post in that blog, as I am more than happy with the Mathematica, but should not we, from an educational point of view (also known as POV), do some real education and teach the kids how to do it in asm, or at least C, so they can actually do useful things at 3 MHz, a thousand times faster. And Wolfram Language seems to have an alternative for 'Awk', 'grep' too maybe, except those small Unix utilities are xxx time faster too. So that was already it for me with Wolfram Language. I keep the Mathematica, but did get by pretty well with octave till now.

Actually it is fun to ply with, I needed to make a link ln -s /opt/Wolfram/WolframEngine/10.0/Executables/math /usr/local/bin/math so it would find the command line math version, much faster.

I was playing with some audio, it can load the audio package: # math In[2]:=

Exponent? 1.83599e6 metres? Looks about right on Google Earth.

Using an R function [*] which assumes a perfectly spherical Earth:

[1] 1833.872

A high-precision geodesic calculator [**] gives 1835989m.

[*]

The function is apparently available in the "fossil" package.

R is genuinely free software with a huge number of extension packages which runs nicely on a Raspberry Pi as well as Linux and Windoze.

Ah, yes, should have seen that...

I read some of you excellent:

and filed others for later. Life is short, so we don't want to open another canOworms that leads nowhere. Is an imediately usable downloadable? You'd want to use your PC, rather than rPi?

Is there an ARM group? .. where I could eg. just get the few bytes for: load Immediate #N -> regR store regR -> memory(Adr)

Thank you.

Mathematica is not free for the PC.
