Xah Talk Show 2024-02-01 Ep535 Live Coding in WolframLang, Math, Plane Curves Package

Differential geometry. WolframLang. Interesting discovery. WolframLang's ArcCurvature (new in 2014) is unsigned, so you cannot use it for drawing osculating circle. If you want signed, you have to use FrenetSerretSystem (new in 2014). However, in both cases, they are symbolic. You feed it a numerical value to get numerical result. There is no direct numerical counterpart as in NDSolve. So in the end, it's faster, if you just get the symbolic derivatives, and compute the numerical results yourself.

Transliterate Chinese

Amazing. WolframLang can transliterate any language. This feature is not available in the free WolframScript though, apparently. [see WolframScript Tutorial]
