Mathematica allows almost every aspect of sessions to be customized, under full programmatic control.

In any interactive session, Mathematica effectively operates in a loop. It waits for your input, processes the input, prints the result, then goes back to waiting for input ...

 

PrintTemporary[expr] prints expr as a temporary cell in a notebook, removing it when the evaluation of the current input line is complete.

Mathematica is to its core a fundamentally extensible system, in which efficient, modular, reusable packages of any size can readily be created. Mathematica's symbolic ...

Mathematica's highly optimized architecture makes it easy to create programs that are both elegant and efficient. Its symbolic character lets you immediately run and test ...

The standard way in which Mathematica works is to take any expression you give as input, evaluate the expression completely, and then return the result. When you are trying ...

The flexibility of Mathematica's symbolic architecture is reflected in its rich collection of carefully defined constructs for localization and modularization. The use of ...

Built on powerful and elegant principles, the core Mathematica language has emerged over the past 20 years as perhaps the world's richest and deepest programming language. ...

In the standard notebook front end, Mathematica allows you to set a large number of global options. The values of all these options are by default saved in a "preferences ...
