Description

Wolfram Research's software document format renders interactive Mathematica code as graphical, customizable documents in a standalone player or browser environment.

Components

  • Wolfram Computable Document Format as a module-development technology: The Computable Document Format (CDF), designed by Wolfram Research, "takes interactive code written in Wolfram’s Mathematica software and renders it graphically in either a standalone player or via a browser plugin." Interactivity relies on the Mathematica "manipulate" command, letting users customize plot inputs via sliders, radio buttons, and menus with dynamic updating. Student modules are described as ideally suited for submission to the Wolfram Demonstrations Project repository. (Nathan E. Sanders et al. (2013))
