Computational Systems

Mathematica is the tool that has made possible Stephen Wolfram's exploration of the computational universe, and the emerging field of Wolfram Science (NKS). Whether for modeling, algorithm discovery or basic NKS, Mathematica has immediate built-in capabilities for the systematic study of a broad range of computational systems.
