Standalone Mathematica Kernels
Mathematica's core language and computation capabilities can be accessed not only through its rich interactive notebook interface, but also directly through a command-line interface—allowing Mathematica to be used in large-scale batch mode, or as the world's most powerful scripting language, fully integrated into any computational environment.
