How Wolfram Compares
Key Capabilities
Mathematica includes thousands of built-in functions and curated data on many topics that let you:
- Perform agent-based modeling and simulation of social behavior, customer movements in a store, and much more
- Analyze social networks made of nodes and ties to study the complex sets of relationships between members of social systems at all scales, from interpersonal to international
- Build mathematical models to study criminality, voter patterns, media impacts on consumer behavior, and more
- Analyze all kinds of data including survey data, census data, and more, using built-in data analysis tools
- Combine the extensive built-in demographic and socioeconomic data with your own for extending your models
- Simulation of complex adaptive social systems or artificial societies, composed of interacting agents
- Instantly create fully interactive interfaces for real-time analysis
