Ten Functions on the Wolfram Repository

The 10th resource function I managed to publish on the Wolfram Function Repository bears an austere name: “TranscendentalRange”. This can be used to systematically generate ranges of transcendental numbers, i.e. exact expressions mathematically proven not to be solutions of any polynomial equation with integer coefficients (notable examples are the numbers π and e).

Fortunately the names of my previous 9 resource functions sound more normal:

• ODENormalForm (transform a differential equation into normal form)
• TransformTabular (transform simultaneously all columns of a tabular or a selection of them)
• ComplexRange (generate a range of complex numbers)
• FindClosedForm (search for a formula that yields a given number)
• AssociateColumns (create associations among columns of a tabular object)
• PauseUntil (pause evaluation until a given time)
• ThermodynamicBetheAnsatzSolve (solve integral equations of Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz type)
• AlgebraicRange (generate ranges of algebraic numbers)
• PartitionWhile (partition a list by a condition on the sublists)

I really recommend investing in a Wolfram license, but if you do not own one, you could still leverage the entire “computational language” — including these resource functions — from terminal command line through the free Wolfram Engine.

This round milestone is a good opportunity to publicly thank the Wolfram Function Repository and Review Teams, for their really valuable comments and suggestions, which continue to help me learn and understand better the depths of software design and development.
