I'm an assistant professor of history who also happens to tinker around in Mathematica for my research. My interests involve textual analysis, web scraping, and the like.

How can I improve Mathematica's resolution on a macbook retina display? @Szabolcs I've started using it again with v9, since this has jogged my memory, and no issues whatsoever after using it pretty intensively over the last few days (lots of graphics & a presentation). v8 broke my find dialogues and occasionally documentation. |

How can I improve Mathematica's resolution on a macbook retina display? @M.R. No unchecking or checking that box needed... |

How can I improve Mathematica's resolution on a macbook retina display? @M.R. I just re-checked it on my system and it works. You drag the application icon (not the shortcut from your dock) onto the program, and it'll retinize or de-retinize. |

What is the new command for AffineMap? AffineTransform might be what you're looking for? |

Running a Mathematica program without Mathematica I had been curious earlier about how one could deploy Mathematica content online, perhaps some of the answers there re: CDF and WebMathematica would be helpful. |

Dealing with large files Actually, this SO discussion "Way to deal with large data files in Wolfram Mathematica" looks pretty key for this. stackoverflow.com/questions/2370570/… |

Dealing with large files I'm interested in this too. When I've been dealing with plain text files, I often use the split command in bash. i.e. split -l 500 data. Here's the man page. |

Comparing Unequal Lists of Surnames to Establish Over or Under-Representation @SimonWoods The example data used the wrong denominator in part of it (my bad), but I've double checked and the full sets do total out properly. Sorry - the ideas below are working quite well! |

Comparing Unequal Lists of Surnames to Establish Over or Under-Representation @DavidSlater That would be great - a list that had the difference in percentage that could then be played with. My issue so far has been the different length of lists. |

Comparing Unequal Lists of Surnames to Establish Over or Under-Representation @celtschk Changed above, is that better? |

Comparing Unequal Lists of Surnames to Establish Over or Under-Representation @celtschk Good catch - I've now put a ToUpperCase in my code that generated these lists. Thanks! |

Comparing Unequal Lists of Surnames to Establish Over or Under-Representation @celtschk And if I head the name, it's a string - I'm not 100% clear what you mean by symbols vs. strings. |

Comparing Unequal Lists of Surnames to Establish Over or Under-Representation @celtschk I've generated the list from getting a long list of names (some 650k of them) and then Sorting and Tallying, like so: Sort[Sort[Tally[names[[All, 1]]]], #1[[2]] > #2[[2]] &]. So they should be unique? |

Can I put tooltips in a Graph? I had a similar question a long time ago - David Carraher's answer may be useful for you. Good luck! stackoverflow.com/questions/7742126/… |

Merging (combining) tables of graph relationships (2-mode to 1-mode network) @belisarius Looks like it's all public knowledge, and just representing what you can find at http://www.nationaltimes.com.au/opinion/ASXmap. Whether it should all be so easily digestible and put together like this, though, I guess is a bit more of a judgement call (although since I think they're public corps...)! |

How to find out available fonts from within Mathematica? If you want to know what font the output is, you can highlight the text and open the text window (Ctrl + T or Cmd + T). For my system, your command leads to text in 'Lucida Grand'. |

Visualize Pascal's triangle and other triangle shaped lists Also discussed here, if you scroll down (with a nice Manipulate). |

How can I interrupt Speak? Fascinating - and if you execute something like Speak["test test test"]; Print["hi"], it executes the Print command before the first word is even spoken. |

How do I remove the top bar and bottom bar from the Mathematica window? I think that's part of the student version. When I upgraded to the full license, it disappeared. There was a very brief discussion about this over at the Student Support Forum, and the official line is that you can't remove it. |

Mathematica's external controllers? You can also connect microcontrollers, such as Arduino and Phidgets. |
