The focus of most presentations is on Mathematica, but since it is the Wolfram Technology Conference, things like Wolfram Alpha, SystemModeler and other technologies start to feature more and more prominently. The Champaign Hilton Garden Inn is a decent venue, the only thing to be aware of is the sometimes lethal airconditioning, so be sure to bring warm clothes.

See the 2011 schedule and the 2012 videos to get an impression. User talks that cover the wide range of Mathematica application in education, science, industry and entertainment.Hands-on workshops (big this year: SystemModeler).WRI in-depth talks (taking on a specific area, e.g.“ Mathematica Connectivity” or “Image Processing” in general) WRI overview talks (presenting some topic, e.g.There are several types of talks, and you can easily cram your schedule bumper to bumper: Some general info for those who are not familiar with the Tech Conference: Note that I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to attend sessions on future Mathematica releases and upcoming Wolfram technology products, so there will be no infos on on that (make of that what you will). This is a loose collection of whatever interesting/entertaining stuff I came across during the conference. The Wolfram Technology Conference took place from to in Champaign, IL. Many thanks to Daniel Healion for the ReadCube and WriteCube functions. OutForm[num_?NumericQ, width_Integer, ndig_Integer, The function OutForm is used here to mimic the printf function found in other programming languages. In the process, we will create the text for an XYZ file, a format also developed by Gaussian. There exist many applications to visualize cube files, such as VMD or GaussView, but I wanted to take advantage of Mathematica‘s capability to easily combine graphics, as well as the ability to automate the process in order to efficiently create frames for a movie.įirst off, we need a function to extract the data from the cube file. These files contain volumetric data for a given orbital on a three-dimensional grid.

Typically, these are output from electronic structure software in the form of a cube file, first developed by Gaussian.

These are used to describe the wave function of electrons in atoms or molecules. As a chemist it is often useful to plot electronic orbitals.
