| Q: |
Do users of webMathematica
need to be familiar with Mathematica? |
| |
Those who are using webMathematica to develop a website need to know
Mathematica well enough to implement the calculations they plan to
use. Visitors to a webMathematica-based site need to know only how
to operate a web browser.

|
| |
Please refer to the page on new features
in webMathematica 2 for detailed information.
|
| |
|
| Q:
|
Can I use webMathematica for
the same calculations for which I use Mathematica?
|
| |
Any calculation done in Mathematica can be
done using webMathematica, with two noteworthy limitations. First, when
using webMathematica, you will not have access to the full capabilities
of Mathematica's front end. Second, license restrictions may prohibit
you from enabling certain calculations when you use webMathematica. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Does webMathematica make your
browser work like a Mathematica notebook?
|
| |
No, webMathematica does not offer notebook simulation
through a browser. However, noninteractive front-end functionality is
accessible. Technology will be available in the future to link a
client-side notebook front end through the web to a
webMathematica server. |
| |
|
| Q: |
To what tests has webMathematica been subjected? |
| |
The same industry-leading testing procedures used for
Mathematica and other Wolfram Research products have been used to
test webMathematica.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
What security is included with webMathematica?
|
| |
Security is built in to prevent
unauthorized Mathematica computations from being
executed. Because webMathematica was created using standard web
technology, it is fully compatible with standard security techniques
and takes full advantage of security features of your web server and
operating system. A number of suggestions to keep your site secure are
covered in the security section of the documentation.
|
| |
|
| Q:
|
Is webMathematica compatible with Mathematica
application packages? |
| |
Yes, but you will need to obtain a special web license for
any application package you want to deploy with
webMathematica. Contact Wolfram Research or your local reseller for more information.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
Can I connect webMathematica to a database?
|
| |
Yes, you can. You can either use the built-in DatabaseLink, which
lets you connect to databases in any major format, or any Java
database technology. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Will webMathematica work with my existing Java code,
JavaScript, and applets? |
| |
Yes, webMathematica is compatible
with most web-based programs and services, including Java,
JavaScript, and applets.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
Can webMathematica output graphics?
|
| |
Yes, it can output graphics in a number of formats including GIF,
animated GIF, and JPEG. Using the Java applet LiveGraphics3D, you can create and
manipulate three-dimensional graphics interactively in your web browser. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Can webMathematica output typeset mathematics?
|
| |
Yes, it can--as images, SVG, MathML, and TeX. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Can webMathematica support other
output formats? |
| |
Yes, it supports many formats, including HTML, XHTML, MathML,
SVG, PDF, XML, Mathematica notebooks, and TeX/LaTeX, as
well as over 70 data, sound and image formats. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Does webMathematica support XML? |
| |
webMathematica has full support for import, export, and
manipulation of XML documents as well as support for XHTML and MathML.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
Can a web-enabled phone or PDA interact with webMathematica?
|
| |
Yes, any web-enabled device can access a webMathematica
site. An increasing number of technologies, such as i-mode,
WAP, and Java, support web access for small devices.
|
| |
|
| Q: |
Does webMathematica work with 16-bit
character encodings such as Shift-JIS? |
| |
Yes, it does.
