Wolfram Research announced today that the company plans to release Mathematica 4.1, "the world's leading technical computing system", in a version that takes full advantage of the advanced capabilities of Mac OS X.

ROCK ME AMADEUS!
This is great news. I've tried mathematica before and it's a great programme.
Mathematics and engineering are passions of mine. I don't actually own Mathematica, but I've used it before and I plan to get it when I come up with the money. It is the single best mathematics application available. No question. I'm thrilled that it will be taking advantage of OS X and the G4.
I remember three years ago when some group used Mathematica as a benchmark on which machine is the fastest. The Mac (clones) were always on top. The only flavor of Mathematica that cracked the top ten from the Intel side was Mathematica for NeXT Step. HMMM!
I they port Matlab and Splus to OS X it will make my life much much better.
I like Maple better than Mathematica anyway
Matlab people, here's another vote for you on OSX :)
Scrumptious.
Mathematica already separates the kernel from the front-end, which might suggest that
it would be well-suited to multiprocessor support.
OR one could run two or more kernels efficiently
(great when you have a reallllllly long calculation to do).

Last summer, I visited Wolfram's site. There was a job opening for Mac Product Manager (or something like that). The job description was defenitely written by someone who likes Macs.
I don't recall exactly what it said, except things like "Mac is back!", that the original version of Mathematica was based on Mac and NextStep technologies, and how happy they were that they now could combine these under OS X.
Anyway, it was a quite long job description, and it felt very honest and enthusiastic.
I think it is great that Mathematica will get an OS X version. Last week I chatted with someone at Waterloo who said they were giving serious consideration to an OS X port of Maple - the symbolic algebra program that I use every day and can't live without ....

Finally! Very happy about this!
I was aghast when they dropped the support for OpenStep, but now this will allow us to use the premier math program on the premier OS and hardware platform :-)
The MacOS version is pretty good, but we like to stick with unix, any unix, whenever we have the choice.
Way to go, Wolfram!
