Mathematica – modern technical computing system

Last Updated on July 11, 2021

Mathematica is a specialized computer program used mainly in scientific and mathematical fields.

Mathematica is split into two parts, the “kernel” and the “front end”.

The kernel interprets expressions (Mathematica code) and returns result expressions. In Mathematica, dialogs, graphics, math, and general code are all represented by expressions.

The front end provides an interface called a notebook for viewing, creating, manipulating, and mixing programs, graphics, maths, text, and dialogs. It also provides a debugger, a notebook presentation mode, and the interfaces to devices such as keyboards, mice, and gamepads.

Features include:

• Libraries of elementary and special mathematical functions.
• 2D and 3D data and function visualization tools.
• Matrix and data manipulation tools including support for sparse arrays.
• Solvers for systems of equations, ODEs, PDEs, recurrence relations and integrals.
• Multivariate statistics libraries.
• Constrained and unconstrained local and global optimization.
• A programming language supporting procedural, functional and object oriented constructs.
• A toolkit for adding user interfaces to calculations and applications.
• Import and export filters for data, images, video, sound, CAD, GIS, document and biomedical formats.
• A database containing economic, scientific, mathematical, and other information in a format that is easy to access within Mathematica.
• Support for complex number, arbitrary precision and symbolic computation for all functions.
• Tools for transforming and pattern matching abstract symbolic data models.
