Mathematica is a symbolic mathematical computation program created by Wolfram, and is based on Wolfram Language. It covers a wide range of technical computing- including symbolic & numeric computation, visualizations, geometry, data science, neural networks, machine learning, image processing, and much more. Mathematica is freely available to all Hamilton College faculty, students, and staff.
