This paper contains much that is new and much
that is true. Unfortunately, that which is true
is not new and that which is new is not true.
Referee's report

At the HU-Berlin, I hosted a 2-day seminar on the basics of Mathematica. The created the following material for the course:

* download notebooks (for Mathematica 5.2)

Source Code of Libraries

Over a period of several years, I have developed and maintained the following general purpose libraries. The algorithms and source code have been refined and put to the test with every project they were transfered over to.

C++ library 2011 * cpp8_2011-03.zip 80 kB
Java library 2015 ** java8_2015.zip 140 kB
X-files · Collection of useful MATLAB functions xfiles.zip 20 kB
* tensors (svd, gauss with col pivoting, quicksort), accurate timing (Windows only), random numbers, sha1 hash function, hash table, linked list, trees, simplex noise, blue noise
** math, html, xml, color-palettes, introspection, midi (requires java 1.8)

A source code is a piece of art - cross check the characteristics inherent in the classical forms of art to those of the activity of designing a program: A coder has an individual sense for what is a beautiful program. A programmer delevelops his own coding style over time. His code reflects his way of thinking and is hard to communicate to others.

Silence is argument carried out by other means.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man,
and from man to pig,
and from pig to man again;
but already it was impossible to say which was which.
