Yesterday I wrote about Mathematica 6.0.2 not working properly on Ubuntu 8.04 and today I discover that Matlab 2007b doesn’t like it much either.Â When you run Matlab you might get nothing more than an empty gray window and Matlab will essentially be unusable.Â Apparently the problem stems from a bug with Java applications when using Compiz or Beryl effects so just turn them off and all will be well. To fix the problem just click on System -> Preferences -> Appearance in the GNOME menu and select the Visual Effects tab.Â Set the effects to None and then click on close.Â Matlab 2007b should now work properly and you won’t be wasting any CPU cycles on eye candy. Of course you might not want to disable all of the pretty visual effects.Â If so then try the workarounds detailed in The Mathwork’s article on this issue - I haven’t tried any of these extra tricks since they are unsupported and I am more insterested in a working Matlab than a pretty d...

Demonstrations for Pi Day
From: walkingrandomly.com
Post Date: 2008-03-07 03:57:04

Next Friday will be March 14th which is celebrated by some as Pi Day since the date is 3/14 in American date format and the first three digits of Pi are 3.14 (as if I have to tell you!). One or two people have been looking for inspiration as to what to do for Pi Day in schools and I thought that it would be fun to write a Wolfram Demonstration especially for Pi Day, after all, my Valentine’s day demonstrations turned out to be quite popular . So the question that rem... more

What’s new in Mathematica 6.0.2?
From: walkingrandomly.com
Post Date: 2008-03-12 09:07:34

I have been playing with the new release of Mathematica for a little while now and thought that I would share what I have found. Now, as indicated by the small increment in version number, this is a minor release and so we should not be expecting anything earth shattering. The sort of things that one expects in a minor release like this include things such as bug-fixes, small performance enhancements, documentation upgrades etc. So…let’s see what he have got. First on the list... more

Mathematica 6.0.2 was released back on February 25th but I have only just managed to find the time to install it.Â I tried to install it on a brand new Dell 755 with a very fresh install of Ubuntu but near the end of the install procedure I came across the following error “The installer was unable to check for a valid password file.Â Your Mathematica installation may be incomplete or corrupted.” I had not been given the opportunity to supply it with any licensing information s... more

1.Take one dare from Kathryn Cramer and obtain a picture from her website. 2. Steal ideas from this demonstration by Jeff Bryant. 3. Type the following incantations into Mathematica SetDirectory[”/home/mike/Desktop/random”]; image = Import[”kramer.jpg”]; xpos[x_] := Floor[x/N[2/374.] + 377/2.] ypos[x_] := Floor[x/N[2/499.] + 502/2.] imcol[x_, y_] := image[[1]][[1]][[xpos[x]]][[ypos[y]]]/256.; a = 1; b = 0.9; c = 1; Plot3D[{Sqrt[ c^2*(1 - (x^2/a^... more
