UsesĬomputable Document Format has been used in electronic books by Pearson Education, to provide the content for The Wolfram Demonstrations Project, and to add client-side interactivity to Wolfram Alpha. AuthoringĬDF Files can be created using Mathematica. The data and solution files to support any book-related assignment (those found in the book or activities such as the Prepared Exams) are not available in MyLab IT. The reader supports a plugin mode for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari, which allows CDF content to be embedded inline in HTML pages. ĬDF reader support is available for Microsoft Windows, Macintosh and Linux but not for ebooks or tablets. This makes it suitable for scientific, engineering and other technical content and digital textbooks. In contrast to static formats such as PDF and pre-generated interactive content provided by formats such as Adobe Flash the CDF Player contains an entire runtime library of Mathematica allowing document content to be generated in response to user interaction using any algorithms or visualizations which can be described in Mathematica. ReadingĬDF files can be read using a proprietary CDF Player with a restrictive license, which can be downloaded free of charge from Wolfram Research. Styles can be controlled using a cascading style sheet. Paginated layout, structured drill down layout and slide-show mode are supported. CDF supports Mathematica typesetting and technical notation. Contents can include formatted text, tables, images, sounds and animations. Content is updated using embedded computation in response to GUI interaction. Wolfram Knowledgebase Curated computable knowledge powering Wolfram|Alpha.Computable document format supports GUI elements such as sliders, menus and buttons. Wolfram Universal Deployment System Instant deployment across cloud, desktop, mobile, and more. Wolfram Data Framework Semantic framework for real-world data.
