### Where can I find examples of good Mathematica programming practice?

I consider myself a pretty good Mathematica programmer, but I'm always looking out for ways to either improve my way of doing things in Mathematica, or to see if there's something nifty that I haven't ...

### Distribution of random points in 3D space to simulate the Crab Nebula

I'm generating some 3D models of planetary nebulae and supernova remnants for Celestia, a free OpenGL astronomy software. Currently, I know how to do it with random points inside a spherical shell. ...

### Generating animations of clouds with Mathematica

I'd like to generate some visually-pleasing animations of clouds, fog or smoke with Mathematica. My idea of "visually-pleasing" is along the lines of one of the images on the Wikipedia article for ...

### Identifying critical points/lines of 2/3D image/cubes

Upshot I am interested in identifying critical points of a 3D field/cubes (maxima, minima, tube-like and wall-like saddle points) and 2D field/image (maxima, minima, saddle points). I.e. the ...

### Efficiently generating 2-D Gaussian random fields on the sphere

Context A couple of years ago I posted this question for an efficient code to generate an n-D Gaussian random field (sometimes called processes in other fields of research), which has applications in ...

### Morphological Filtering in 3D to produce skeletons

Context As a follow up of this question and that answer, I would like to identify the special lines separating 3D watersheds. These are useful in the context of astronomy to identify the ...

### adding noise (or perturbing) to a surface

Perhaps a stupid question but I am used to that. This is a perfect smooth surface with circle contour. How can I add some small noise to it to have an actual moutain look with not so smooth contours ...

### Integration of Booles and Gaussians in high dimensions

Context As a follow up of this question, I would like to predict the connectivity of the so-called cosmic web in arbitrary dimensions. The connectivity $\kappa$ is defined as the number of ridges ...

### Connect neighbouring points as list of segments in 2 D

Context I am interested in connecting neighboring points in 2/3D as list of segments. I am guessing this is something within the reach of graph theory, which is well implemented in mathematica. ...

### ItoProcess for 3 coupled SDEs sourced by 5 Wiener processes

Context I am trying to solve a stochastic equation corresponding to Vector resonant relaxation (the way orbital planes of stars diffuse near the galactic center, see below). Setup Within the ...
