One of the reasons Stephen Wolfram created the Wolfram Language was precisely to be able to do the computations in A New Kind of Science. Q: Why are the programs written in the Wolfram Language? It provides an introduction to computational thinking and programming with the Wolfram Language, and is available in print and as an ebook. Wolfram's An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language was published in 2015. There are hundreds of books available to help you learn the Wolfram Language the original one is Stephen Wolfram's The Mathematica Book. Often reading a program from the Notes is the best way to understand the details of what a particular note in A New Kind of Science says. The Wolfram Language is a symbolic notation that can be read not only by computers but also by humans. Q: Can I do anything with the programs without a Wolfram Language-based product? If you're at a Wolfram Technology System institution, you may already have access available to you. You will need to install a Wolfram application on your device or have access via the Wolfram Cloud to run the programs. The programs are all written in the Wolfram Language, the language powering Mathematica, Wolfram Development Platform, Wolfram Programming Lab and other Wolfram Language-based desktop, cloud and mobile products. The programs are tied directly into the text in the Notes at the back of the book. This shows you all the kernel evaluations being made, which is usually the bottleneck (due to the round-trip time to the server).Q: Do I need the book to use the programs? by opening the page with an extra ?devtools=true parameter: In cases like this, it can be very useful to look at our (rather experimental and un-polished) 'devtools', e.g. So it's a little embarrassing this got slower. We don't officially support documentation notebooks in the cloud yet (so we don't actively test that stylesheet), but, of course, this should 'just work'. I'm not sure yet what exactly changed – maybe the underlying 'Reference.nb' stylesheet or our handling of N or Inherited (see below).
