Re: A challenge from the VM machine for Mathematica Experts (and other human beings)

Hi Vladimir,

It depends on what exactly you run. Some of the commands
available in Mathematic require front-end to run properly.
One being Dynamic.

If we, however, restrict ourselves to calculus related
functions, then there should be no mathematical inequivalence
between outputs of MathKernel and Mathematica for the same
input. The reason being that they both use the same
computational engine.

Hello there,

First, we'd like to ask Daniel Lichtblau, or other
Wolfram Research's representative, okay? Of
course, an input from anyone is highly welcome.

Suppose the customer runs these two executables

MathKernel.exe
Mathematica.exe

and then calculates the same input in both of them.

Should the outcomes be mathematically identical?
(If yes, why, if no, why?)

Thank you in advance.

Best wishes,
