A Dramatic New Product Nearly 20 Years after the Original
May 1, 2007--For the second time in under 20 years,
Wolfram Research is bringing a revolution to computing. The first was Mathematica 1.0 in 1988. Today's is
Mathematica 6--in many respects a completely new product, one with several hundred additional groundbreaking technologies developed over more than a decade at Wolfram Research.
"In compatibility terms,
Mathematica 6 is an upgrade. In capability terms, this is a major new product," said Stephen Wolfram, CEO of
Wolfram Research. "Mathematica's been reinvented."
Mathematica 6 takes technical computing to a new level: more tightly bound, more natural, and more automated, applicable to a far wider range of areas than ever before. Central to this achievement is "instant interactivity"--taking models, simulations, computations, or just about any concepts and turning them into fully interactive applications, sometimes within seconds. This new way of working drastically improves innovation--the process of transforming ideas into highly optimized results.
