Non-math people will never understand the genius this man always has been
Pretty impressive that Mathematica could do this back in 1989. Never knew it was that advanced back then. Wolfram is a genius
Ask yourself why for 30 years nobody used it. When I just started my PhD, my adviser told me from the outset to start using Matlab and not waste time of the fancy stuff.
@@USGrant21st why do you think?
@@TateVanPatten It's pretty useless in practice. I know people used it to write articles with pretty illustration, but that's basically it. Anybody who does math for living doesn't need a primitive tool, it adds nothing, but it takes efforts to use. Those who are in tech field, who develop algorithms, test theories, etc. need Matlab, which does digital, not symbolic calculations.
@@USGrant21st You're arrogantly comparing apples with oranges. Entirely different purposes.
@@andreasgadetrading comments from an ignoramus like yourself are valuable contributions to discussion 😅 -- not.
It's impressive that the wolfram language remained consistent with what we have today, even after 30 years of development.
It is amazing how his voice sounds exactly the same today. You couldn't tell the difference between this one and the video he did yesterday. Wow! What a hero! I love this man. And cutie too, who knew? lol
Actually his accent has become noticeably more British. The accent above sounds Mid-Atlantic
I had no idea Mathematica was this good at version 1.
honestly i think i just need a RasPi with mathematica v1 and I'll be able to do literally anything.
@@projectpegasus1297 Calculators have come a long way since I was born. ;)
Stephen still sounds exactly the same today as I listen to him talk about the future of Arrays in Mathematica on Twitch right now.
I think this is a video from mid 80s, Even with those low power computers it gave impressive results.
Description says 1989
Let’s all pay some respect to Wolframs epic chad beard.
He always interested me. Who gets a PhD from Caltech at 20 and goes on to create such an important computing tool. This had to be a game changer at the time when folks were still using complex computer languages that couldn't come close to this programs flexibility and graphical capabilities.
He is very clear and even 30+ years ago iMathematica seems pretty adwanced and usefull
21:32 Calculus
28:08 Graphics
39:56 Programming
51:30 External Interaction
Thanks for that roadmap!
29:50 "Nevertheless since I happen to know the PostScript language"
When a guy says that, you know he's a real computer geek.
He sure might be called geek... but then again, he doesn't need to be. He is obviously MATHEMATICIAN, and probably the one specialized in Computer Science - which is legit branch of mathematics department of any university. So, loving mathematics and knowing how to design and code complex software system like Mathematica - it's quite simply his professional field.
Sure he knows PostScript language, obviously, because he designed his program to use PS as the standard for presenting graphical output of the data structures he built himself. It's perfectly logical. Not the matter of "happen to know". Being mathematician, he is also into classic programming languages he mentions (like Fortran, Pascal, probably LISP too), and as any mathematician out there - he is very devoted to TEX word-processing system.
I presume he loved MAC especially, because of that "notebook" visual paradigm that was brought into public. MAC epitomized the concept, before other computers like Amiga or Atari ST, PC even less. But other half of the 80's sure was the period of GUI environments.
Anyways - the guy is just one cool creative mathematician & computer scientist. Not mandatory a geek. A guy that does his job and enjoys it.
@@cybermodo To be honest it didn't occur to me that the reason he knows PostScript might be that he developed a software that relied on it.
Most people who use TeX or LaTeX know PostScript is a thing but never bothered to learn it. Wolfram probably had to, just like Donald Knuth.
Also I hope it's clear I wasn't trying to be disrespectful in any way. The guy is brilliant and he created an amazing and beautiful program.
@Lucien Grondin , it was clear, I just found it interesting to make distinction. There are so many geeks out there getting involved in so many stuff that have nothing to do with their profession. But Wolfram is obvious professional that seems like taking great pleasure in his profession. That is all, and I felt like it was nice to write about.
Fascinating glimpse from the early turns on one road less travelled
Mathematica really is an impressive software, and apparently its design has not changed much since the beginning, probably because it was very well thought of. Kind of like lisp, I guess, but also because just like lisp, deep down it's more or less just lambda calculus, and it's a very fundamental computational paradigm.
I remember spending almost a whole day solving some integrals for my degree. I never knew about mathematica, could've helped me check some of those integration by parts problems.
The Mother of All Demos
WOW. This video will go down in the history of computing.
I think mathematica is the best mathemaics progam
I love the elegance of a big 40 columns font on a sparse background, almost like Commodore 64 text mode. Minimal use of GUI bells & whistles, this could pass well on C64's GEOS user interface with ease. Back in the days we craved for 80 columns text modes and wild screen designs with icons and menus all over the place. But this is so cool in its minimalism, almost in touch with command line, but with decent graphics mode involved.
Love retro computing. :)
This is so cool!
And an amazing production quality, too.
That's hillarious!Looking back :))))))) I can already see his thinking
A great tool . Thoughts + books (previous thoughts from others) + Mathematica == Imagination Party
I tell you, this stuff will be the future.
Way ahead of its time
he never changed
Such a great demo! Thank you.
36:20 Sneaky. Guess the WolframAlpha logo was born here.
exactly
Well Mathematica has been using that logo long before Wolfram Alpha came out...
@@vickykarlitachannel7909 Bro you ok?
incredible work
Thank you for this video to learn. The face here is more familiar than in other videos Thanks GOD for Stephen Wolfram.
I dig the bearded stephen wolfram look
God has blessed this man.
I have version 5 and it's great!
truly helpful
Pretty amazing!
So it is finally demonstrated that Stephen Wolfram is best watched at 2x normal speed, no matter how far in the past.
Whoa. I will need more heatsinks shortly
A rare super genius .. .or perhaps a time traveler
Stephen still has his hair.
Yes, but he keeps his hair off his head now.
How do Maple and Mathematic relate? I assume they both spawn from the same root.
at this time I was trying to learn A B C and 1 2 3 he already had invented something incredible
I was working with MathCad ver 2.5, a DOS based "calculating" program somewhere in that time frame ...
Thanks
what is the function to show every single steps during evaluation.
impressive
What is the computer and operating system its running on ?
When was this video released?
80s
The difference in intelligence beween prof. Wolfram and me is calculated by Mathematica here: 2:08
Same here. Well he is a mighty exponent
this is really cool, how he could optimizecomputational software with limited hardware in 1989?
What computer was this running on?
1989 I was wondering why my rasperry pi was solving equations faster then his computer.
Wow! i hope it will help me
what computer is he using? a PC 286 ?
Wow, his voice is exactly the same, but I wouldn't have recognised him from the video.
THE BEARD THO
I want the Atari version of Mathematica!!
Maybe AI and the Wolfram Language can one day restore the good professor’s hair
Holy! He wasn't bald and clean shaven!

Hello good evening, I am trying to solve the following logarithm with wolfram mathematica but I can't get the program to give me a solution: Log2[X = 6] is 64 but I can't get the program to give me that solution, how do I do it as is the syntax that should i put??
Why use matlab?

Why nerds in the 80s always have that beard?
Because shaving is a waste of time
To lazy to shave.
NEWTON HAS THE GENERAL FORMEL FOR WHAT CAN BE DONE
Have we REALLY made any progress? Or is everything nowadays ersatz and sugar coated --- although, in the near future, coders will be rendered obsolete by AI.
You said it well. I kept away from all these nonsense because just like the space programs it is very misleading and because it give us a false sense of security and hope. I just watched the exact demo by Wolfram himself done 30 years after this. The program is amazing but it fails half the time. I mean you cannot rely on its credibility in terms of AI. This is because it is NOT thinking. We have to teach it to do specific things in very specific domain. It does not know when it makes a mistake and that is very dangerous.
I have spend the last decade thinking about the correct solution at a basic level and found something truly revolutionary that can solve all these probelms. (agimachine .com)
Many people are alive today, or are no longer in pain because of that "ersatz and sugar coating," how many? Billions with agricultural progress and vaccines alone. Your attitude seems to have fallen, or at least leans out from the 90s, with its post-modern scene of pseudo-fighting-of-the-power with cynicism--somewhere where NO progress has been made. Your prediction even fails to predict *now*, since we now know there really is no "AI," rather only real "I," and in the future, we are one with it.
