Mathematica is the world's most powerful global computing environment. Ideal for use in engineering, mathematics, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, and a wide range of other fields, it makes possible a new level of automation in algorithmic computation, interactive manipulation, and dynamic presentation - as well as a whole new way of interacting with the world of data. Help and learning resources for Mathematica can be found on Wolfram’s support page.
