Sharing your work with non-Mathematica users

Dear sirs,

I appreciate that this topic might have been already covered in the past.
However, I could not find any valuable solution to the problem.
Suppose I wanted to show my work to a fellow student or my professor (who are NOT Mathematica users) , which is the best option / line of action available?

As far as I understand PDFs are not an option, since they would lose the ‘manipulated’ content of my calculations.
Thank you

Hi Mauro.

Yes, Wolfram solved that for you using the CDF format which can be opened by a free CDF player called Wolfram player. This player allows you to use interactive objects without having Mathematica installed. More details are here

and you can download it and suggest for others to download it for free here

Dear all !
I think I have found the solution:

I SIMPLY EMBEDDED THE PUBLISHED NOTEBOOK FROM THE CLOUD INSIDE MY WEBSITE

It works !
In such way, I can share my work with my collegues / professors.

Dear Ahmed,

yes , I have considered this…but I didn’t want my recipients to be forced to download softwares or get puzzled about .nb or .cdf files.

So, I have found my solution.
Cheers

Perfect, Mauro. Published Notebook works in the cloud. There may be slight behavior difference between Mathematica and the cloud, but you can outrun it easily.

Dear Ahmed, let me show you an example of what I’ve done…just for testing:

My website

That is pretty handy, for sharing with collegues and professors.

That is amazing work Mauro. Have you considered sharing your notebook here in Wolfram Community? You can view it the same way here using the button “Add Notebook”. You will find many members here having the same interest.

Dear Ahmed, I am flattered, but I hardly call it an amazing work :slight_smile:

It’s just a test for my limited skills in Wolfram Language and a test for sharing.
As a matter of fact, I am now struggling to find a way to create a moving disk sector to visualize the habitable zones around the stars…it seems way beyond my current knowledge of the language.

Mauro,

I don’t agree that the website solution really works. It is too slow. I tried your Goldilocks application. On opening there is no response from the interactive controls. Waiting for the blue bar on top to slowly creep towards the right. It did not reach the end in 45 minutes. Still no interactive response. So I gave up.

I am using Windows 10 with the latest updates. Firefox. Internet by fiber + home wifi router.

Hi Hans
It works fine in my case, it took around 5 seconds to load. I am using Chrome browser.

That is exactly why I am suggesting to share it with us here in Wolfram community, you may find members who can help you with that. There are many language experts here who can help.

Dear Hans,

thanks for your feedback.
I find it strange, because it works fine on my mac osx Catalina and Firefox and also a collegue’s Ubuntu system.

Surely it is kind of slow, and it’s a pity.

But I really cannot see any other practical solution to the problem.
Any suggestion is kindly appreciated.
Mauro

Dear Ahmed,

I surely accept your suggestion.
Could you tell me please where and how I can share this?

I will try to share it here

Cheers

It certainly needs to be in a separate post, with suitable Title.

Roger that.
I will see to it.

Works fine for me too. Loaded in ~2s and the various manipulates respond almost immediately. Mac OS + Chrome.

Thank you Rohit !
Excellent news.

Tried with Chrome instead of Firefox. And then it works! Timed loading (blue bar) to about 12 s. Manipulate controls immediately accessible. But with Firefox it still does not work.

Chrome was already installed on the PC but never used before. So this test was with Chrome in its default setup. While on Firefox I have set options to suit my liking and idea of privacy. Might have an influence?
