Mathematical Knowledge in Mathematica

Mathematica incorporates the knowledge from the world's mathematical handbooks and uses its own revolutionary algorithms to go much further.

Mathematica knows about all the hundreds of special functions in pure and applied mathematics.


Mathematica can evaluate special functions with any parameters to any precision.


Mathematica is now able to do vastly more integrals than were ever before possible for either humans or computers.




Mathematica can also evaluate finite and infinite sums and products.


Mathematica can solve a wide range of ordinary and partial differential equations.


Mathematica's algorithms can generate a huge range of mathematical results.




This finds the billionth prime number, using a mixture of algorithms and built-in tables.
