Built on powerful core principles, Mathematica's scope has expanded at an increasing rate over two decades—making it now a system of unique breadth and depth, simply without parallel in the world in software.

Mathematica's unified architecture allows it to integrate a remarkable range of areas normally served only by disparate specialized software systems—and to make possible cross-connections that define whole new levels of functionality.

Through its unique technology approach, Mathematica is able to deliver more capabilities, more conveniently, more efficiently, and at lower cost, across an impressive range of software categories—and to interoperate synergistically with practically every type of software. Read on to see how Mathematica compares to other systems.
