This month's edition of The Pulse podcast features an interview with Andy Dorsett, academic key account manager at Wolfram Research.

He discusses Mathematica, the company's software application for computations, and the many ways in which it is used -- in the classroom and for research in academe, for visualization and image processing in the corporate sector, and elsewhere.

The Pulse is Inside Higher Ed's monthly technology podcast, produced by Rodney B. Murray, executive director of the office of academic technology at University of the Sciences. Find out more about The Pulse here.
