-[[http://www.wolfram.com/|Mathematica(tm)]] is a scientific software package created by Stephen Wolfram to provide a multi-purpose technical computing environment. It can be used as a programming language, a system for representing mathematical knowledge, or a tool in the standard computing environment. Like MapleTM , Mathematica offers symbolic manipulation of mathematical expressions. Mathematica's structure consists of a frontend and the kernel. Depending on the platform on which Mathematica runs, the frontend (user interface) can be slightly different. This document is written for a Unix-based host (amdahl.physics.purdue.edu) running off a PC via the X-Window interface (NCD's PCXware). Currently, PCN carries a two-user license of Mathematica 5.2.
