Mathematica is a modern technical computation software system with over 6,000 built-in commands. It is traditionally used in STEM fields for academic research or in course work but is useful for computations in almost any field. Mathematica covers symbolic and numeric solutions to mathematical problems, statistics and data analysis, visualization of mathematics or data, creating programs or algorithms, text and language processing, optimization, image processing, and includes curated data sets.
