In the recently released Mathematica 7, Wolfram Research integrated over 500 new functions and 12 major application areas, including image processing, parallel high-performance computing (HPC), new on-demand curated data, and other computational innovations. Mathematica Player 7 extends those advances to interactive publishing by letting users deploy dynamic Mathematica documents that run freely on any compatible computer.

Educators, researchers, and others can upload their Mathematica notebooks or applications to the Publish for Player web site and instantly get back Player-compatible files. That means that people can now share dynamic content across classrooms and workgroups and publish their work without any software barriers, says Conrad Wolfram, director of Strategic and International Development at Wolfram Research.
