Mathematica SIG (http://web.mac.com/hrbishop.pmsi/DCSIG.m/DCSIG.html) MEETING 21 August 2009, 7:30 am Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) 8301 Greensboro Drive McLean VA Southern Corner of Westpark Drive and Greensboro Drive Agenda 1. Prepared Talks Help Explorer: Navigating the Knotted Web of Mathematica Help Files, by Bernard Gress Abstract. Help Explorer operates within Manipulate to show the network of hyperlinks between all Mathematica help files. The network builds automatically from diverse Help directories, and then the user clicks to open the desired help page (the graph gets re-centered on the page). We'll see how Dynamic, Button, GraphPlot, and various brilliant/ingenious methods of generating the networks all conspire to find neighborhoods of varying degree having multi-colored nodes. Dynamic Timeline Plots and Personal Knowledge Database, by Dan Martinez Abstract. Dan will update us on the fascinating work he's doing with Timeline Plots (if only all of MathGroup could see what he's doing). Thereafter, we'll get an update on his longstanding work with PKD. What I Did at Advanced Mathematica Summer School, by Bernard Gress. Abstract. Bernie will report on how summer school went two months ago. Maybe next year some of us will follow in his footsteps. 2. Mathematica Gems and Discoveries - Sharing of Mathematica programming oddities - Applications of Mathematica to some areas of science - Something recently read and worth sharing 3. Mathematica Questions, Possible Approaches and Discussion 4. New Business - Select next meeting presentation, time and place Directions to 8301 Greensboro Drive, McLean VA (tall, boxy and white SAIC Enterprise Building at south corner of Westpark Drive and Greensboro Drive): >From the Beltway, go northwest on Route 7 (Leesburg Pike) and proceed past Route 123 (Chain Bridge Road).
