Examples

Combine graphics to create custom diagrams: Show[Plot[Sec[x], {x, 0, 6}], Graphics[{Dashed, Line[{{0, 1}, {6, 1}}]}]].

Find all {x, y} where x < y, returning {x, y, y - x}: Cases[RandomReal[1,{10,2}], {x_, y_} /; x < y :> {x, y, y – x}].

Efficient sparse matrices: s=SparseArray[{i_,j_} /; Mod[2i+j,7]==1->1, {20,20}]. Use like any matrix: Eigenvalues[s,5].

Medical Imaging

Use built-in functions for segmentation, registration, restoration, and image analysis; prototype new algorithms quickly and efficiently; and deploy them as standalone applications or as web-based tools—all from one system. Mathematica provides a complete integrated workflow for image processing and application development with the speed and performance benefits of GPU and parallel computation. More »

Modern Quality Control: Measuring True Performance with Mathematica

Modern Quality Control: Measuring True Performance with Mathematica

As a research specialist at Quest Diagnostics, George Woodrow III needed to develop real-time process-control systems to modernize the traditional quality control practices used by the clinical laboratory.

"Our error rate, in terms of sending incorrect results to our clients, has decreased by four orders of magnitude. So we used to have 10 to 15 errors a day in our laboratory. Now, it's 2 or 3 every year, and that's a big advantage." More »
