Care for a slice of Pi?
Technically, any number is a “slice of pi”; any combination of number will appear somewhere in the digits of Pi. The only problem might be that your slice of Pi may not be thicker than a planer sheet of graphene.

Integration symbol – Because math is cool.
Integration – it is a powerful symbol that has not been fully exploited in the pop culture.
Here is a wall paper depicting nothing else but a bold integration sign – why? – because math is cool.

Wolfram Research Releases Mathmatica 7
Mathmetica 7 was released today Wolfram Research.
If you plan to do any computation, Mathematica is invaluable. It lets you focus on the concepts and takes care of all the nitty -gritty.
New features range from things as simple as cut-and-paste integration with Microsoft Word’s Equation Editor to instant 3D models of mathematical objects. Full suites of genome, chemical, weather, astronomical, financial, and geodesic data is designed to make Mathematica as invaluable for scientific research as it is for mathematics.”
There are several other software packages, MatLab, SciLab, Maxim but this is by far the most feature rich.
I have used it in a non-physics context to visualize data and it works very well. As they say, never underestimate the power of a pretty picture! And it is even more convincing if it is a pretty graph!

All three of them try to capture more then just collection of words.
