New Features and Enhancements

Find out more about the key elements that make up Mathematica's complete technical environment.

Mathematica 5 is the first technical computing system to offer the scope of Mathematica together with the speed and scalability of a dedicated numerical system.

Enhancements throughout make Mathematica 5 better suited to production-scale work than ever before. It offers a complete solution from initial calculations through prototyping to final solutions and documentation. The speed, scope, and scalability of Mathematica 5 make it a uniquely compelling all-around technical system for institution-wide adoption as well as for the individual.

Mathematica 5 is primarily an advanced algorithm release with a large number of major new technologies, many of them developed in house by Wolfram Research. Find out more in the following pages.
