The Mathematica chemistry solution offers a complete suite of tools for analytical, physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry, including high-powered data analysis, interactive visualization, and automatic reporting—all in one system.
Curated chemical and scientific data are built into Mathematica alongside highly automated computation for ease and accuracy of calculations.
Performing powerful data analysis
Studying the spectra of alkali atoms
Comparing chemical properties using built-in data
Investigating correlations between molecular weight and boiling point for different organic functional group classes; tabulating physical and safety properties for chemicals
Performing powerful symbolic and numerical calculations
Generating the solution of a wave function and its corresponding energy for an isotropic 3D harmonic oscillator
Instant connectivity to databases, web services, C/C++, Java, and .NET frameworks allows easy access of specialized data and code from a variety of sources »
Highly optimized superfunctions with automated algorithm selection to get accurate results quickly—sometimes switching algorithms mid-calculation for further optimization » Competitor note: Non-Mathematica computation systems make you analyze your equations manually to determine which function to apply— e.g. where in Mathematica you use NDSolve, in Matlab you must correctly choose among obscure named algorithms like ode45, ode23, ode113, ode15s, bvp4c, pdepe, etc. or risk wrong answers
Calculating path-dependent and path-independent quantities such as entropy, free energy, chemical potential, and more
Simulating mass transport and chemical kinetics such as electrochemical reactions
Calculating the time-independent Schrödinger equation and its solutions in terms of wave functions and their eigenvalues, and other applications in quantum chemistry
Solving coupled nonlinear differential equations for chemical kinetics modeling
Interactively visualizing molecular structures of biochemical compounds
"The reason why I still use Mathematica and have been using it for all this time is that it's a very intuitive, very seamless development environment. I can go from an idea to a computational framework where I can get quick, easy numerical answers."
