answer // further // Benchmark - 64 bit much slower than 32 bit In case any one else runs into a similar problem, I sorted out the answer to the slowness below. I pulled out one memory strip to drop from 8 MB to 6 MB and, presto, performance went from slow (rating of 1.13) to ultrafast (rating of 5.50). How to explain this? I believe it goes back to "following the manufa... 13 Aug 2010 07:02
Syntax coloring If I change this: If[a > 1, Do[Print[i], {i, 1, 10}]; ]; to this: If[a > 1, Do[Print[i], {i, 1, 10}]; (*end do*) ]; then, the semicolon right before the comment (*end do*) turns magenta. But if I remove the very LAST semicolon and then type it again, the magenta turns black. Do others see ... 13 Aug 2010 07:02
Problem with using Symbol[] in a loop Can anyone tell me why this works as expected: dirnames = Names["$*Directory*"]; For[i = 0, i < Length[dirnames], i++; Print[dirnames[[i]]]] and gives the following results: $AddOnsDirectory $BaseDirectory $HomeDirectory $InitialDirectory $InstallationDirectory ... 13 Aug 2010 07:02
Equation style crash bug 1.. Create a new blank notebook. 2.. Select the stylesheet JournalArticle (I think any other stylesheet with Equation style will do too) 3..

Repost - help with list manipulation Hi - This is my first post. I am a long time mathematica user, but I still end up getting stuck on some things... I have used the Table function to generate output from the Solve function for a range of values... case1 = Table[sol3 = Solve[{ f == m*a, -M + f*r == I*b, a == b*r}, {f,a, b}], {M, 1, 17}]; I... 13 Aug 2010 07:02

Straightforward factoring and simplification Some time back there was a post in this group about how to convert the expression (Eq_1) � a*b + a*c - 2*a*d + b*c - 2*b*d - 2*c*d + 3*d^2 into (Eq_2) � (a-d)*(b-d) + (a-d)*(c-d) + (b-d)*(c-d) to which I made an absurd response. My meds are working better now, so I hope the following will make sense.... 13 Aug 2010 07:02

Is it possible to dump the info in "Options Inspector" or search it? I am wondering if it's possible to either dump ALL the information in "Options Inspector" (For the "Global" scope if it matters) to a file that I can search for something, or is it possible to search the values of the options (not the option names or variables like it works presently, but what their values contain)... 12 Aug 2010 06:01
Benchmark - 64 bit much slower than 32 bit Folks, just installed Mathematica on new Windows 7 64-bit machine and Benchmark[] is much slower than on 32-bit Windows XP.
