Key architectural details of Mathematica Notebooks

Two parts to the system: kernel and front-end The front-end sends the input to the kernel, which returns the result, which is displayed Mathematica notebooks are objects that can be manipulated by Mathematica programs

Maple

Scientific computing environment + programming language First GUI for Maple released in 1989 1992 -- release of the “worksheet” interface: “Beginning with the Macintosh user interface for Maple V, the new user interfaces will all support the concept of a "worksheet" which integrates text, Maple input commands, Maple output, and graphics into one document.”

SciPy + IPython + Matplotlib

SciPy (2001): Created by Travis Oliphant, Eric Jones, and Pearu Peterson, it was a combination of scientific libraries for Python on top of the Numeric array type (later replaced by NumPy) IPython (2001): “The IPython project provides on enhanced interactive environment that includes, among other features, support for data visualization and facilities for distributed and parallel computation” (from “IPython: A System for Interactive Scientific Computing”, 2007)

SciPy + IPython + Matplotlib (cont.)

Matplotlib (2003): “It was conceived by John Hunter in 2002, originally as a patch to IPython to enable interactive MatLab-style plotting via gnuplot from the IPython command-line. Fernando Perez was, at the time, scrambling to finish his PhD, and let John know he wouldn’t have time to review the patch for several months. John took this as a cue to set out on his own, and the matplotlib package was born, with version 0.1 released in 2003.” (https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2013/03/23/matplotlib-and-the-future-of-visualization-in-python/)
