### Is it possible to speed up ContourPlot on multi-core machines?

It is not very difficult to face a function for which ContourPlot works too slow. And it seems natural that this function can be parallelized well. Anyway, naive <...

### Improve Plot3D resolution near max/mins

I have the following function $$V(r) = \sum_{i=1}^N 4 \epsilon_i \left(\frac{\sigma_i^{12}}{\|r-r_{0i}\|^{12}}-\frac{\sigma_i^6}{\|r-r_{0i}\|^6}\right)$$ which -for those interested- corresponds to ...

### Create triangular mesh from random list of points

I have a list of points. I would like to take these points and create a mesh of triangles from them, making sure triangles don't overlap. So here's a list of points: ...

### How can I make Plot show the plot while it's computing it?

Normally, Plot acts like a black box and only gives you the requested plot once it has finished computing it. However it can be useful, other than interesting, to ...

### Connecting to and disconnecting from a continuously running kernel, on demand

I realized that there are lots of advantages to driving C/C++/FORTRAN code directly from Mathematica as LibraryLink functions (instead of running them from the command line or a shell script, as I ...

### Differential quadrature method fails on 4th order PDE with nonlinear b.c. as grid gets denser

I am using differential quadrature method (DQM) to solve the following initial-boundary value problem: \frac{\partial^2 w}{\partial t^2} + \mu \frac{\partial w}{\partial t} + C_0 \frac{\partial^4 w}{...

### Function Interpolation with Automatic / Algorithmic Values Mesh

I have an underlying function f(x,y,z) that is computationally intensive, but is smooth and continuous. I'm needing to find the function values along a line in xyz. Currently, I'm calculating f at ...
