Video w/ Mathematica on Raspberry Pi

[mob-i-l]

I made a video testing Mathematica (from Wolfram) on Raspberry Pi in PAL. I also start some of the alternatives e.g. wxMaxima, QtOctave (similar to Matlab), and ROOT (from CERN). In the end I rotate the 3D-plot in Mathematica.

Such as shame that your video at 360p doesn't have enough detail to see what you're typing on some of the screens (especially the white text on a black background is impossible to see).

Such as shame that your video at 360p doesn't have enough detail to see what you're typing on some of the screens (especially the white text on a black background is impossible to see).

I uploaded it in 720x576 (576p25) and it became 360p. Normally I upload in 640x480 (480p25) and then it becomes 480p. I'm no YouTube expert but it seems I should stick to 640x480. It's also possible in my video recording software to increase the quality and I should try that. I tried to download using youtube-dl in order to get the original video back but it gave an error.

I've found out now how to increase the font-size in each of the programs so future videos should be more readable.

What I wrote in the video:

In Mathematica (end a line with Shift+Enter):

Code: Select all

2+2
N[Log[4 Pi],40]
x^4/(x^2-1)
Integrate[%,x]
Plot3D[Sin[x y],{x,0,Pi},{y,0,Pi}]
Plot[Sin[x^3],{x,-2,2}]

These examples come from the book "Mathematica – A System for Doing Mathematics by Computer" (1988) by Stephen Wolfram.

In wxMaxima (end a line with Shift+Enter):

Code: Select all

2+2

In QtOctave (end a line with Enter):

Code: Select all

2+2

In ROOT (end a line with Enter):

Code: Select all

2+2
for(int i=0;i<0;++i) printf("%d\n",i);
