What is Wolfram Mathematica?

Wolfram Mathematica. The world’s definitive system for modern technical computing. Available on desktop, cloud & mobile. For three decades, Mathematica has defined the state of the art in technical computing—and provided the principal computation environment for millions of innovators, educators, students, and others around the world.

What can you do with Wolfram|Alpha?

Wolfram|Alpha is a great tool for finding polynomial roots and solving systems of equations. It also factors polynomials, plots polynomial solution sets and inequalities and more.

Is Wolfram|Alpha just an online equation solver?

More than just an online equation solver. Wolfram|Alpha is a great tool for finding polynomial roots and solving systems of equations. It also factors polynomials, plots polynomial solution sets and inequalities and more.

What is Mathematica’s notebook interface?

Mathematica uses the Wolfram Notebook Interface, which allows you to organize everything you do in rich documents that include text, runnable code, dynamic graphics, user interfaces, and more. With its intuitive English-like function names and coherent design, the Wolfram Language is uniquely easy to read, write, and learn.

How is precision calculated in the Wolfram Language?

The Wolfram Language automatically computes an approximate result, and determines the precision of the result by considering the precision of the input. In general, the precision of the result will differ from the precision of any part of the input. Add a number with 10-digit precision to a number with 1000-digit precision: Copy to clipboard.

How does the Wolfram Language handle numerical errors?

In calculations involving arbitrary-precision approximate numbers, the Wolfram Language tracks the propagation of the numerical error. The use of high-precision numbers can yield accurate results where other numerical systems fail. The Wolfram Language gives exact answers whenever possible: Copy to clipboard.
