LLM Tech and a Lot More: Version 13.3 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

But what if we ask a question where the answer is some algebraic expression? The issue is that there may be many mathematically equal forms of that expression. For example, here we’re computing a derivative: And here we’re doing a factoring problem: These two answers are mathematically equal. Sometimes that’s easy to determine.

How Inevitable Is the Concept of Numbers?

Stephen Wolfram

Let’s say that we’re trying to achieve the objective of having an efficient transportation system for carrying people around. The same is true of axioms for areas of abstract algebra like group theory—as well as basic Euclidean geometry (at least for integers). Ultimately an economic system is based on a large network of transactions.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

Any integral of an algebraic function can in principle be done in terms of our general DifferentialRoot objects. Turning from calculus to algebra, we’ve added the function PolynomialSumOfSquaresList that provides a kind of “certificate of positivity” for a multivariate polynomial. And a third of a century later—in Version 13.0—we’re

The Concept of the Ruliad

Stephen Wolfram

For integers, the obvious notion of equivalence is numerical equality. For example, we know (as I discovered in 2000) that (( b · c ) · a ) · ( b · (( b · a ) · b )) = a is the minimal axiom system for Boolean algebra , because FindEquationalProof finds a path that proves it.
