Mathematica 6

Mathematica 6 is said to take computing to a new level thanks primarily to its “instant interactivity” feature, which takes models, simulations, computations and many other concepts, and turns them into fully interactive applications. Demonstrations of the quick transformation of ideas to results are available at demonstrations.wolfram.com. Mathematica 6 also features the integrated development environment (IDE). Together with the software’s advanced programming language, the IDE makes Mathematica 6 ideal for infrastructure development. Some additional key new features of the software include: high-impact adaptive visualization for the automated creation of high-fidelity function and data graphics; language for data integration, including automatic integration of hundreds of standard data formats; load-on-demand curated data for math, physics, chemistry, finance, geography, linguistics, and more; symbolic interface construction for the immediate creation of arbitrary interfaces from simple programs; automated computational aesthetics, with algorithmic optimization for visual presentation; and unification of active graphics and controls into flowing text and input.
