  2. What is the breakdown of educational vs research users of mathematica
  3. The early computer algebra systems macsyma smp etc were they used purely as research tools or was there some notion that they might be used in the classroom also
  4. What do you think of the state of math and science education in the us right now
  5. Why have computer science and mathematics departments diverged so strongly in the recent past
  6. From an educational point of view would you put the mathematica language on a par with fortran or pascal
  7. Do you think that mathematics and the rest of the sciences will tend to become less distinct becoming more and more involved in similar computational tasks albeit on different problems
  8. I noticed a rather long debate on the nets recently about the current role of mathematica some people were arguing that presentation features should not be focused on that all work should go in
  9. Do you have any opinions on the dominant paradigms of today and about which will survive into the next decade
  10. So one rationale behind procedural programming is that its easy to learn but one rationale for a hidden state is an optimization of some sort why do you think people dont need optimization
  11. What are your thoughts on parallel processing and its relation to language
  12. With mathematica did you set out to create an application program or a programming language you sell it as an application
  13. What does developing a programming language for its own sake mean
  14. Youve considered making a thing that will probably be called m that is essentially mathematica without the mathematics but how seriously
  15. What are the virtues of symbolic languages like mathematica vs procedurally based languages like basic
  16. When you were first testing some ideas in mathematica in smp would have been about the time clocksin and mellish were bringing prolog to a wider audience with their book were you influenced by prolo
  17. How did smp influence mathematica
  18. If you were writing mathematica today what would you leave out
  19. Youve spent a significant amount of time doing language design what does a language designer really spend the bulk of the time doing
  20. What were the intellectual roots of mathematica
  21. What kinds of design ideas went into the writing of mathematica
  22. Is there anything youd do differently if you were writing mathematica today
