He was formerly Professor for Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University. He was voted Britain's leading public intellectual by readers of Prospect magazine and was named one of Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People" for 2007. Dawkins came to prominence with his 1976 book "The Selfish Gene", which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term "meme". He is a prominent critic of creationism and intelligent design. In his 1986 book "The Blind Watchmaker", he argued against the watchmaker analogy, an argument for the existence of a supernatural creator based upon the complexity of living organisms.

He says, "The single command Manipulate, which allows you to build an interactive interface with sliders and buttons, and you can move things in real time, and you can explore mathematical space with these sliders. It's almost like a telescope into a world you couldn't see otherwise." With Mathematica, Torrence can easily create compelling educational content, covering topics from algebra and calculus to geometry and biological mathematics. About Mathematica's ability to bring lessons to life, he says, "With Demonstrations and other interactive graphics, the students can adjust parameters and see how things change and it gives them the satisfaction of knowing they really understand the concepts." The Mathematica Edge • Instantly make lessons interactive with easy-to-build dynamic models or existing Demonstrations • Pick from a collection of palettes and graphical user interfaces that offer point-and-click access to powerful capabilities • Access free, ready-to-use materials and resources, including engaging examples and courseware and interactive documentation For more videos and screencasts about Mathematica, please visit: www.wolfram.com
