The Wonderful World of Mathematica

The Wonderful World of Mathematica

Mathematica is computer software that can be used to perform a variety of functions. These functions include: mathematics and algorithms, system interface and deployment, visualization and graphics, dynamic interactivity, and several other functions. The initial idea came from a man by the name of Stephen Wolfram. It was further developed by a team of mathematicians, and first released in 1988. This computer software was originally developed for the fields of math and science. Mathematica has been used in many disciplines which include physical science, engineering, financial modeling, accounting, research, and many more. However, this software has been transformed and is now being used in several other disciplines.

Mathematica is know now as, “the world’s most powerful global computation system.” It allows users to compute anything from simple calculator operations to solving complex statistics. It can also be beneficial for graphing, solving equations, finding limits, and integrating functions. Mathematica, “spans all continents, encompasses ages from below 10 and up, and includes artists, composers, linguists, and lawyers, as well as hobbyists from all walks of life.” Today, Mathematica is used by students from the high school to graduate level, Fortune 50 companies, and the U.S. government. The purpose of this project is to highlight the importance of mathematica and explain how it can be a useful tool for many purposes.
