About Mathematica

MathematicaMathematica is one of the world's most respected software systems, and an essential tool for leaders in science and technology across the globe. Legendary for its sophisticated capabilities, yet easy enough to be used by children, Mathematica has emerged as the most powerful general computation system ever created--and a complete computational environment for millions of people. Whether they have tasks that involve numbers, formulas, functions, graphics, data, documents, or interfaces, Mathematica gives automatic access to by far the largest collection of algorithms ever assembled.

Originally developed by Stephen Wolfram for his own research, Mathematica was first released to the world's technical community in 1988. Since then--under Dr. Wolfram's continuing leadership at Wolfram Research-- Mathematica has been at the forefront of a string of important advances in computing. The key breakthrough that originally made Mathematica possible was the development of its unique symbolic programming language. Unifying a tremendous range of computational concepts, the implications of this language still continue to broaden.

Used at almost all Fortune 500 companies, all major universities, and on every continent, Mathematica has been a crucial tool in many important scientific, technical, and business innovations. Used not only by Nobel-prizewinning researchers but also by high-school educators and students, Mathematica has also enhanced the education of a generation of students.

While Mathematica has become integrated into a great many ongoing technical processes, its most unique strength is its ability to let people do what has never been done before--whether in science, mathematics, engineering, technology, business, or the arts. WolframTones is in many ways a quintessential example of applying Mathematica--making broad use of its power, flexibility, and practicality--to take a fresh idea and turn it into something very real.
