In the recently released Mathematica 7, Wolfram Research integrated
over 500 new functions and 12 major application areas including image
processing, parallel high-performance computing (HPC), new on-demand
curated data, and other computational innovations. Mathematica Player
7 extends those advances to interactive publishing by letting users
deploy dynamic Mathematica documents that run freely* on any
compatible computer.
Authoring with Mathematica and the Publish for Player web service
couldn't be simpler: educators, researchers, and others upload their
Mathematica notebooks or applications to the Publish for Player
website and instantly get back Player-compatible files. That means
that people can now share dynamic content across classrooms and
workgroups and publish their work without any software barriers. Mere
documents become robust applications--virtually freestanding and cross-
platform--in seconds.
Interactive publishing with Mathematica means that homework, quizzes,
presentations, books, and research no longer have to be static
documents. Publish for Player makes it easy to include point-and-click
results, animated 3D models, real-time data from the web, and more--
all powered by the built-in Mathematica engine.
The free Mathematica Player 7 software and more information about the
Publish for Player process are available online:

Over 4000 freely downloadable Player applications, including
interactive content created with Mathematica 7, are available through
the highly popular Wolfram Demonstrations Project:
