Mathematica includes thousands of built-in functions and curated data on many topics that let you:

• Develop and refine analytic models for risk
• Back-test trading strategies to check viability, or stress test models to account for extreme market changes
• Access real-time trading data and perform instant analysis
• Calculate value-at-risk for different portfolios and time horizons
• Do straight-through processing from the trade capture to the backend
• Create new tools for calculation, graphing, and modeling and deploy them to your website
• Immediately compute with data from your existing Bloomberg feeds
• Dispatch order routing on .NET and Java platforms from one central command center
• Perform position reconciliation with online statements from the clearinghouse with XML functions

Does your current tool set have these advantages?

• Symbolic capabilities of time-value and bond functions allow for seamless integration with Mathematica's statistics framework for use in financial computations involving uncertain outcomes
• Develop, analyze, test, document, and deliver custom models in a fraction of the time needed with other systems
• Get accurate results with fully automated precision control and arbitrary-precision arithmetic
  All systems relying on machine arithmetic, such as Excel or Matlab, become inaccurate
• Gain accuracy and reliability by performing symbolic calculations, not just numeric ones
  Matlab's built-in routines only handle numeric calculations
• Choose from procedural, functional, and rule-based programming paradigms for fast development and deployment
  Other computation environments use predominantly procedural languages
