Newly Released Mathematica 5.1 Delivers Unmatched Performance for Handling Data Mathematica 5.1, the data functions release, is now available from Wolfram Research. Building on Mathematica 5's dramatic speed, scope, and scalability improvements, Version 5.1 adds a host of new capabilities, especially for working with large-scale, diverse types of data. There are more than 50 new functions, toolkits, and performance improvements in Mathematica 5.1. Highlights include: * Industrial-strength string manipulation * Built-in universal database connectivity * Highly optimized binary data I/O * Additional import-export formats, including XLS and AVI * Integrated web services support * 2D and 3D automated network visualization * High-performance array visualization * Numerical linear algebra performance enhancements * Fully integrated piecewise functions * Integration over implicitly defined regions * Event handling in numerical differential equations * New algorithms for symbolic differential equations * Cluster analysis capabilities added * Interactive exploration tool for differential equations * MathematicaMark benchmarking tool * GUIKit interface and application builder--now built in * and many more innovations Complementing these new capabilities are enhancements to Mathematica's unique automatic algorithm selection--the inherent intelligence that automatically applies the best algorithm to each task. Mathematica 5.1 adds more algorithms and better intelligence in a number of key areas, producing accurate results even faster than before.
