In both 2020 and 2021, Mathematica was recognized as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality by the Human Rights Campaign, after scoring 100% on the HRC's Corporate Equality Index (CEI). We were also recognized in 2020, 2021, and 2022 by the Disability Equality Index, which designated us a "Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion". We are honored to receive this recognition and committed not just to maintaining our inclusive workplace culture but to continually improving upon it.

Wolfram Mathematica is a software system with built-in libraries for several areas of technical computing that allow machine learning, statistics, symbolic computation, data manipulation, network analysis, time series analysis, NLP, optimization, plotting functions and various types of data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other programming languages. It was conceived by Stephen Wolfram, and is developed by Wolfram Research of Champaign, Illinois.[8][9] The Wolfram Language is the programming language used in Mathematica.[10] Mathematica 1.0 was released on June 23, 1988 in Champaign, Illinois and Santa Clara, California.[11][12][13]
Mathematica is split into two parts: the kernel and the front end. The kernel interprets expressions (Wolfram Language code) and returns result expressions, which can then be displayed by the front end.
The original front end, designed by Theodore Gray[14] in 1988, consists of a notebook interface and allows the creation and editing of notebook documents that can contain code, plaintext, images, and graphics.[15]
There is also a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA-based IDEs to work with Wolfram Language code that in addition to syntax highlighting can analyze and auto-complete local variables and defined functions.[17] The Mathematica Kernel also includes a command line front end.[18]
Capabilities for high-performance computing were extended with the introduction of packed arrays in version 4 (1999)[21] and sparse matrices (version 5, 2003),[22] and by adopting the GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library to evaluate high-precision arithmetic.
Version 5.2 (2005) added automatic multi-threading when computations are performed on multi-core computers.[23] This release included CPU-specific optimized libraries.[24] In addition Mathematica is supported by third party specialist acceleration hardware such as ClearSpeed.[25]
In 2002, gridMathematica was introduced to allow user level parallel programming on heterogeneous clusters and multiprocessor systems[26] and in 2008 parallel computing technology was included in all Mathematica licenses including support for grid technology such as Windows HPC Server 2008, Microsoft Compute Cluster Server and Sun Grid.
As of Version 14, there are 6,602 built-in functions and symbols in the Wolfram Language.[28] Stephen Wolfram announced the launch of the Wolfram Function Repository in June 2019 as a way for the public Wolfram community to contribute functionality to the Wolfram Language.[29] At the time of Stephen Wolfram's release announcement for Mathematica 13, there were 2,259 functions contributed as Resource Functions.[30] In addition to the Wolfram Function Repository, there is a Wolfram Data Repository with computable data and the Wolfram Neural Net Repository for machine learning.[31]
Communication with other applications can be done using a protocol called Wolfram Symbolic Transfer Protocol (WSTP). It allows communication between the Wolfram Mathematica kernel and the front end and provides a general interface between the kernel and other applications.[33]
Wolfram Research freely distributes a developer kit for linking applications written in the programming language C to the Mathematica kernel through WSTP using J/Link.,[34] a Java program that can ask Mathematica to perform computations. Similar functionality is achieved with .NET /Link,[35] but with .NET programs instead of Java programs.
Mathematica is also integrated with Wolfram Alpha, an online answer engine that provides additional data, some of which is kept updated in real time, for users who use Mathematica with an internet connection. Some of the data sets include astronomical, chemical, geopolitical, language, biomedical, airplane, and weather data, in addition to mathematical data (such as knots and polyhedra).[49]
BYTE in 1989 listed Mathematica as among the "Distinction" winners of the BYTE Awards, stating that it "is another breakthrough Macintosh application ... it could enable you to absorb the algebra and calculus that seemed impossible to comprehend from a textbook".[50] Mathematica has been criticized for being closed source.[51] Wolfram Research claims keeping Mathematica closed source is central to its business model and the continuity of the software.[52][53]
Mathematica was the first exhibition to be designed by the Eames Office, produced through sponsorship by IBM. One of the first immersive exhibits dedicated to mathematics, its mechanical and static displays teach people about the abstract qualities of mathematics in a non-mathematical way--through direct interaction and visual storytelling. This interactive demonstrates Kepler and Newton's planetary and gravitational theories.
Selecta Mathematica, New Series is a peer-reviewed journal addressed to a wide mathematical audience. It accepts well-written high quality papers in all areas of pure mathematics, and selected areas of applied mathematics. The journal especially encourages submission of papers which have the potential of opening new perspectives.
What is it? Mathematica is computational software used in science, engineering, finance and other areas of computing that require mathematics. The Mathematica system is now based on the Wolfram Language which is a knowledge-based symbolic language that grew out of the Mathematica Language. The Wolfram Language provides an extensive collection of more than 5,000 mathematical functions that support a wide range of symbolic operations as well as efficient numerical evaluation. The Wolfram Notebook collaborative interface allows you to combine and structure everything you do into a single interactive document that integrates text, Wolfram language syntax, dynamic graphics, and live computation. Click here to view the types of machine learning algorithms supported by this software.
What can I use it for? Enrolled students, faculty, and staff of UTK, UTS, and UTHSC can use Mathematica for university-related teaching and academic research purposes. Mathematica may not be used for commercial research. Use that benefits outside organizations requires the purchase of a commercial license.
How can I learn it? The Mathematica Resources Page provides an extensive collection of Mathematica tutorials, examples, documentation, and other resources to learn about Mathematica. Wolfram U contains open courses to help learn Mathematica for specific subject areas. The LinkedIn Learning online training library also offers Mathematica training videos for the UT community.
Where can I get support? OIT offers Minimal Support to University of Tennessee, Knoxville-area students, faculty, and staff for Mathematica. For assistance, contact the OIT HelpDesk at 865-974-9900. The Wolfram support page has links to Documentation and How Tos, Support Articles and the Wolfram Community. UT is a Premier Service subscriber which means you have telephone and email access to Wolfram experts who can help with Mathematica programming. For Advanced Technical Support, call (217) 398-6500 or submit a message form.
Mathematica (published by Wolfram) is a fully integrated environment for technical computing, combining interactive calculation (both numeric and symbolic), visualization tools, and a complete programming environment. The Mathematica notebook interface provides an interactive technical document format which combines typeset mathematical expressions, formatted text, hypertext, and graphics, as well as fully customizable buttons and palettes. Mathematica also has a communications protocol named MathLink, which allows it to communicate and share data with other programs written in C, C++, and FORTRAN.
