Mathematica is a complete technical computing environment that seamlessly integrates numeric and symbolic computations, interactive document capabilities, an advanced programming language, and powerful connectivity. The current version, Mathematica 6, introduces dynamic interactivity, symbolic interface construction, load-on-demand data, high-impact adaptive visualization, and over a thousand powerful new functions and enhancements.

High-Impact Adaptive Visualization
Mathematica 6 dramatically redefines the world of desktop visualization, providing for the first time complete automation of the process of creating high-fidelity high-impact 2D, 3D and dynamic visualizations of functions and data. Based on major new computational geometric methods developed at Wolfram Research, Mathematica 6 uses the unique architecture of Mathematica to automate every aspect of the visualization pipeline, from analysis to sampling, feature detection, aesthetic choice and final rendering.

Language for Data Integration
Mathematica 6 introduces a major new level of automation in handling external data. Supporting hundreds of formats and subformats across a full range of areas, Mathematica 6 builds on Mathematica's unique symbolic architecture to provide a unified language for converting between external data and uniform Mathematica symbolic expressions--defining a major new level of capability for digital workflow management.

Load-on-Demand Curated Data
Mathematica 6 pioneers the powerful concept of built-in computable data sources. An efficient load-on-demand mechanism makes hundreds of gigabytes of carefully curated and continually updated data immediately available inside Mathematica for use in computations. Mathematica 6 introduces major collections of data in mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, linguistics and finance--all organized and aggregated for the first time by Wolfram Research for direct use in computations.

Symbolic Interface Construction
Mathematica 6 redefines user interface programming--for the first time making it realistic for non-experts to create highly sophisticated and customized interfaces. By integrating interface elements into Mathematica's unique symbolic language framework, Mathematica 6 allows arbitrary interfaces to be represented directly in terms of high-level symbolic controls that can immediately be connected to arbitrary dynamic computations--and laid out using Mathematica's rich tabular, document and graphical capabilities.

Automated Computational Aesthetics
Mathematica 6 brings to fruition a major Wolfram Research initiative in the use of advanced algorithmic methods--combined with award-winning graphic design--to automate the process of immediately creating cognitively and aesthetically compelling material, for the first time allowing final-quality presentation to be achieved routinely throughout the working process.

Unification of Graphics, Text & Controls
Mathematica 6 achieves for the first time a dramatic unification that deeply integrates fully editable and active graphics, text, math, tables, controls and user interfaces in every aspect of both input and output. Building on Mathematica's unique symbolic architecture and notebook document paradigm, Mathematica 6 allows all these elements to be mixed and connected at the finest scales, immediately allowing a remarkable range of important new forms of display and interaction.

Integrated Geometric Computing
A major innovation in Mathematica 6 is full integration of geometric computing. Based on an exceptionally powerful new geometry engine created at Wolfram Research, Mathematica 6 builds on Mathematica's unique strengths in numeric and algebraic computing, as well as graphics, to make geometric computing for the first time an immediately accessible tool for general computation.

Dynamic Graphical Input
In 1996, Mathematica 3 broke out of the tradition of plaintext computer language input by adding integrated free-form two-dimensional mathematical notation. Building on Mathematica's unique unified architecture, Mathematica 6 takes a still more dramatic step, by integrating free-form input of arbitrary 2D and 3D graphics, as well as user interface and active dynamic elements.

Fully Automated Graph Output
Mathematica 6 integrates fully automated graph layout, for the first time allowing visualization of arbitrary graphs to become part of routine computational work. Using original algorithms developed at Wolfram Research, Mathematica 6 automatically creates compelling and aesthetic graph layouts that usually far exceed what is achieved even by painstaking human effort--and can be scaled to multimillion-vertex graphs.

Integrated Graphics Editing & Drawing
Mathematica 6 introduces for the first time an interactive drawing environment fully integrated with programmatic graphics generation and manipulation. In Mathematica 6, all graphical output can immediately be annotated and modified using a full suite of familiar interactive drawing tools. Graphics can also be created interactively from scratch and immediately used as input to Mathematica--opening up a broad range of new directions, from diagrammatic and graphical input syntax to real-time algorithmic processing and enhancement of interactive drawings.

Combinatorial Optimization
Mathematica 6 adds industrial-strength state-of-the-art combinatorial optimization capabilities, including mixed integer linear programming and traveling salesman problem (TSP) optimization. Fully integrated into the Mathematica system, Mathematica 6 allows problems to be given in convenient symbolic form, and results to be used immediately in other computations, visualizations, etc.

Extended Graphics Language
Mathematica 6 further extends Mathematica's powerful 2D and 3D symbolic graphics language, adding a variety of new general primitives, including general support for transparency, general insetting of graphics or other objects in graphics, arbitrary affine transformations, arbitrary symbolic complexes of graphics primitives, as well as editability, controllability and dynamic annotation.

Constrained Nonlinear Optimization
Mathematica 6 uses new algorithms developed at Wolfram Research to add industrial-strength constrained nonlinear optimization and fitting. Fully integrated into the Mathematica system, Mathematica 6 provides a uniquely powerful modeling language in which problems can be specified directly in symbolic form--and then automatically analyzed to select the best algorithms to use.

Real-Time 3D Graphics
Mathematica 6 for the first time brings full state-of-the-art, real-time 3D graphics directly into scrollable documents. Efficiently supporting graphics primitives such as spheres, cylinders and arbitrary polygonal meshes, as well as opacity and smooth shading, Mathematica 6 allows immediate real-time rotation and control, all integrated into Mathematica's standard graphics language, as well as new dynamic annotation features.
