Mathematica
Mathematica is the world's most powerful global computation system. First released in 1988, it has had a profound effect on the way computers are used in technical and other fields. Long recognized as the world's most powerful mathematical software system, Mathematica has steadily grown in breadth and depth to become today an unparalleled platform for all forms of computation.

With thousands of original algorithms and a tightly unified overall design, Mathematica spans projects of all sizes—from simple calculator operations and educational demonstrations to large-scale systems deployment and maximum-power supercomputing.

Ever since Mathematica was first released, its user base has steadily grown, and by now the total number of users is in the millions. Mathematica has become a standard in a great many organizations, and it is used today in all of the Fortune 50 companies, all of the 15 major departments of the U.S. government, and all of the world's 50 largest universities.
