Use your Mathematica to extend the discoveries of A New Kind of
Science

A New Kind of Science Explorer: Mathematica Kit (NKS Explorer:
MK) will greatly assist those interested in researching the
world of simple programs and sharing their discoveries with
others. Based on the same programs that Stephen Wolfram used to
create the striking graphics in his best-selling book, A New
Kind of Science, NKS Explorer: MK is a Mathematica application
package that enables the user to take full advantage of
Mathematica's integrated environment.

Like A New Kind of Science Explorer, NKS Explorer: MK offers
over 450 different types of experiments with an essentially
infinite number of variations, all easily accessible and
intuitively organized. However, NKS Explorer: MK goes a step
further by providing access to the functions and data behind the
experiments. Users can further manipulate the results with
Mathematica's powerful symbolic programming language - the very
language Stephen Wolfram originally developed to aid him in
exploring the computational world, and that made A New Kind of
Science possible.

That NKS Explorer: MK operates within the Mathematica
environment opens the door to powerful analysis capabilities,
integration with other programs, and organization and
presentation in the active and flexible Mathematica notebook
format. Essentially any kind of systematic searching,
manipulation, and analysis can be built and reused, but there is
no limit on what kinds of programs can be constructed. It is
even possible to write programs in other languages, like C and
Java, which rely on the functions in NKS Explorer: MK to perform
certain tasks.

NKS Explorer: MK provides users with the additional
functionality and connectivity they need to take the foundation
provided by Mathematica and NKS Explorer and perform substantive
research and analysis. And, thanks to Mathematica's extensive
export and integration options, users can not only convert their
notebooks and graphics into popular static formats, but also can
integrate the knowledge they contain into more dynamic
distribution systems when they are ready to share their
discoveries.

Product Information

A New Kind of Science Explorer: Mathematica Kit is priced at USD
$50 in the US and Canada and runs on any platform for which
Mathematica is available. It requires Mathematica version 4.0 or
above. For current owners of A New Kind of Science Explorer, the
Mathematica Kit can be purchased at a 60% discount.
