1.2. A short characteristic of the Mathematica system

• Extremely comfortable environment for input and output of mathematical formulas with a standard mathematical symbolic.
• Numerical and symbolical interactive calculations.
• Calculations with a high accuracy.
• Mathematically supported 2D and 3D graphics, animation and music also the real time implementations.
• A strongly developed programming language similar to C++.
• Over 1000 built-in functions for calculations in all areas of mathematics.
• Compatibility with programming languages C++, FORTRAN etc. with possibilities for exchange of data and program modules.
• Open system for defining user rules, functions, procedures and function packages.
• Modified versions for working in the internet environment and development of applications.
• Easy publishment through the special Publicon feature of Wolfram Research.
• Possibilities for exchange in different formats: HTML, XML (XHTML + MathML) etc.
