Question regarding MathWorld & Mathematica 10
What is the CURRENT best way of getting downloadable MathWorld notebooks to be usable with MMA10?
I have a MathWorld folder from an old MathWorld link for supporting packages loaded in AddOns/Applications Directory of my MMA10 installation. Most of the packages are 2007 vintage.
A number of MathGroup posts over the years have tried to find a clean way of accessing MathWorld from MMA without reasonable success.
In[2]:= << MathWorld`SpecialFunctions
.. works OK
but, for the downloaded Mathworld notebook "AiryFunctions.nb" there is a missing context:
In[12]:= << DiscreteMath`RSolve`
During evaluation of In[12]:= Get::noopen: Cannot open DiscreteMath`RSolve`. >>
Out[12]= $Failed
I have run into many similar examples in the past of missing packages or changed/obsoleted functions not working correctly (or at all) that greatly lessen the value of downloaded MathWorld notebooks.
I hope the computable and curated mathematical knowledge of MathWorld is at the highest priority for clean access and use by Mathematica 10 & Wolfram Cloud users.
