All the computation you need

Mathematica provides you with the world's largest collection of algorithms in a single system--each able to operate across the widest applicable scope of numeric, symbolic, or graphical input.

Integrated symbolic computation

With integrated symbolic computation, you can work directly on precise models--transforming, optimizing, solving, and visualizing--only substituting approximate or specific numerical values where necessary. Whether it's for simulation set-up or as part of a hybrid approach with numerics, integrated symbolic computation is now recognized as an essential element of any error-free engineering or scientific workflow. Mathematica is the world's leading symbolic computation system, both in functionality and integration with numerics.

Any precision numerical computation

Mathematica's numerics support any precision or number size across all functions, in contrast to the typical fixed 16-digit limitation found in other computing systems. Without this you may be unable to produce answers accurate even to a small number of digits, as the internal workings of many calculations require much higher-precision input than they produce as output.
