"From my experiences, I really feel that Mathematica is a tool that schools should embrace early. It's not a question of should we embrace it but I think the earlier we get started on it, the better."
—Chris Lee, Roanoke College
"The STEM program at RCC chose [Mathematica] because we feel it is important for our calculus and physics students to be familiar with this type of software before transferring to a four-year institution."
—Pamela Whelchel, Riverside Community College
"Mathematica has changed how I think about teaching and how my students learn mathematics. The conversations in our classes focus so much more on concepts and ideas and understanding...."
—Abby Brown, Torrey Pines High School
"There are other tools that on the surface appear equivalent to Mathematica, but I have yet to find anything that compares to Mathematica's breadth, depth, elegance, and consistency."
—Eric Schulz, Walla Walla Community College

Educational Resources
Educators and schools are under pressure to prepare students for entry
into the workforce, while maintaining high test scores. Thousands of
schools have adopted Mathematica to help them
engage students, increase understanding of STEM concepts, and improve
performance.
You can see the positive effects of Mathematica's influence around the
world—from each of the world's 200 top-ranked universities to the top
high schools in the United States. And because Mathematica is used at
Fortune 500 companies and government research labs, introducing
students to it now will give them experience with a tool they can continue to
use throughout their lifetime.
Mathematica helps educators make their classrooms dynamic—where students
can interactively explore concepts in math, physics, economics, biology,
engineering, or virtually any subject.
- Easily solve equations and analyze mathematical and scientific data
- Visualize functions or data in 2D or 3D
- Access real-world data or use your own for analysis
- Create and present lessons, lectures, and class materials featuring interactive content
- Get started quickly with point-and-click palettes and free-form linguistic input
To help you get started in integrating Mathematica within the classroom,
we've created programs to utilize Mathematica for teaching STEM
subjects. Contact us for more
information or to request a customized program for your school.

Whether you're interested in baking, business, or basketball, you'll
need to know something about STEM. In fact, it's predicted that 80% of
new jobs will require math and science, so learning STEM will be crucial
as you enter the workforce. Mathematica
can help you explore these fields in ways you never thought were possible,
and build the knowledge and skills you need for an exciting and rewarding career.
From simple calculator operations to high-level software development,
Mathematica is used for all sorts of classes, including math, physics,
engineering, sociology, chemistry, biology, and even music and art.
- Visualize functions or data in 2D or 3D, and build interactive models
- Access real-world data or use your own for analysis
- Write lab reports and present your findings—all within Mathematica
- Get started quickly with point-and-click palettes and free-form linguistic input
To help you get started, below are several programs that make it even
easier to use Mathematica for your classes and continue utilizing Mathematica throughout your career.
