Mathematica

Mathematica is a powerful technical programming language developed by Wolfram Research. It encompases computer algebra, numerical computation, visualization and statistics capabilities.

It can be used on all kinds of mathematical analysis, from simple plotting to signal processing. The aim of this wikibook is to introduce the Mathematica language and how to use this software. It will describe the functions available and give examples of them.
