Measurements in the real world often have uncertainty that gets represented as values with ± errors. And so one of the things we’ve done in 12.0 is to introduce carefully selected standardized ways (such as named color functions) to highlight different features: The Calculus of Uncertainty The visualization of complex functions is (pun aside) a complex story, with details making a big difference in what one notices about a function. Years ago I remember painstakingly plotting the dilogarithm function, with its real and imaginary parts. But only now have we solved the math and algorithm problems that are needed to automate the process of robustly plotting even quite pathological functions in the complex plane.

It’s always been possible to write Wolfram Language code to make plots in the complex plane. And as a first example of what we’ve added in 12.0, here’s the rather colorful ComplexPlot3D: But overall, there are lots of things in lots of areas-and in fact even the basic summary of them in the Documentation Center is already 19 pages long: First, Some MathĪlthough nowadays the vast majority of what the Wolfram Language (and Mathematica) does isn’t what’s usually considered math, we still put immense R&D effort into pushing the frontiers of what can be done in math. OK, so what’s new in 12.0? There are some big and surprising things-notably in chemistry, geometry, numerical uncertainty and database integration.

So in addition to everything else, I suspect this makes Version 12.0 the very first major software release in history that’s been open in this way. But one thing that’s new with 12.0 is that we’ve been letting people watch our behind-the-scenes design process- livestreaming more than 300 hours of my internal design meetings. Both these things have of course been building for three decades.
What we’ve been able to do is a testament both to the strength of our R&D effort, and to the effectiveness of the Wolfram Language as a development environment. In my keynote at our Wolfram Technology Conference last October I summarized what we had up to that point-and even that took nearly 4 hours. I must say that now that 12.0 is finished, I’m amazed at how much is in it, and how much we’ve added since 11.3. I’ll discuss both types of functions in this piece, but I’ll be particularly emphasizing the specifics of what’s new in going from 11.3 to 12.0. In 12.0, perhaps half of our new functions can be thought of as finishing areas that were started in previous “.1” releases-while half begin new areas. But in every release we also want to deliver the latest results of our R&D efforts. In an “ integer release” like 12, our goal is to provide fully-filled-out new areas of functionality. Altogether there are 278 completely new functions, in perhaps 103 areas, together with thousands of different updates across the system: It’s a big jump from Version 11.3 to Version 12.0. Today we’re releasing Version 12 of Wolfram Language (and Mathematica) on desktop platforms, and in the Wolfram Cloud.
