Mathematica 8 for students, teachers and home.

See base of page for information regarding eligibility for purchase.

Mathematica for the Classroom helps you quickly prepare classroom demonstrations, quizzes, and homework assignments, and enables you to visually reinforce important concepts with full-color graphics and interactive exercises.

Mathematica provides learning experiences that textbooks and calculators cannot. Give your students the tools they need to investigate and explore real-world technical problems—tools that will also help improve their performance in university and beyond.

From computation to visualization, development to deployment, Mathematica 8 builds on 20 years of innovation to deliver one vision: the ultimate technical application and environment. Mathematica 8 includes over 500 new functions and 12 additional application areas, all seamlessly integrated in one system that gives you unprecedented workflow, coherence, and reliability.

What's new in Mathematica 8?

Mathematica 8 introduces free-form linguistic input—a whole new way to compute. Enter plain English; get immediate results—no syntax required. It's a new entry point into the complete Mathematica workflow, now upgraded with 500 additional functions and 7 application areas—including the world's most advanced statistics capability and state-of-the-art image processing. New workflow end points include deployment of standalone applications or interactive documents.

Built-in Digital Image Processing & Analysis

Mathematica 8 introduces a new generation of digital image processing and analysis, with broad and deep built-in support for both programmatic and interactive modern industrial-strength image processing—all fully integrated with Mathematica's powerful mathematical and algorithmic capabilities. Mathematica's unique symbolic architecture and notebook paradigm allows images in visual form to be included and manipulated directly both interactively and in programs—making possible a new form of streamlined image processing workflow.

Built-in Parallel Computing

Mathematica 8 adds the capability for instant parallel computing. On any multicore computer system, Mathematica 8 is automatically set up to be able to run multiple parts of a computation concurrently—and for the first time makes parallel computing easy enough that it can be used in seconds as a routine part of everyday work. The symbolic character of the Mathematica language allows unprecedentedly straightforward support of many existing and new parallel programming paradigms and data-sharing models—and Mathematica's parallel infrastructure is set up to allow seamless scaling to networks, clusters, grids and clouds.

Visualisation & Graphics

Building on Mathematica's unique base of visualization and graphics capabilities, Mathematica 8 adds several important new areas. Emphasizing integration and automation, Mathematica 8 introduces built-in vector visualization, automated dynamic charting, and fully general splines and NURBS.

Mathematics & Algorithms

Mathematica 8 represents another major achievement in Mathematica's long history of innovation in mathematics and algorithms. Building on the broad capabilities of Mathematica, as well as several recent R&D breakthroughs at Wolfram Research, Mathematica 8 for the first time makes possible systematic computation in a sequence of longstanding mathematical and algorithmic areas.

Computable Data

Mathematica 8 delivers the latest fruits of Wolfram Research's major long-term Computable Data Initiative, providing immediate access to curated static and dynamic data in several important new areas.

Data Manipulation

Building on Mathematica's unified symbolic architecture, Mathematica 8 introduces several major new integrated forms of data manipulation—including large-scale support for images, for statistical models, and for geodetic data.

Core Language

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. Version 8.0 builds into the core language some convenient additional list manipulation functions, has powerful new capabilities for string and sequence comparison, and introduces fully integrated, zero configuration, multiparadigm parallel computing for multicore and network systems.

Notebooks & Documents

Mathematica 8 enhances the Mathematica notebook experience in several ways, with new convenient usability features, new levels of automation for the form and structure of output, and new capabilities such as speech output.

Enter your queries in plain English using new free-form linguistic input

When you start with Mathematica 8, you don't have to use complicated syntax. Just type your commands in simple English, and Mathematica 8 will give you the right result and the language you need to continue working with that result.

Access more than 10 trillion pieces of curated, up-to-date, and ready-to-use data

Whatever area you're working in, Mathematica 8 provides more built-in data than ever. Wolfram|Alpha, the world's first computational knowledge engine, is completely integrated within Mathematica 8. Pull more than 10 trillion (and continually increasing) pieces of data directly from Wolfram|Alpha into your work and immediately use them for further analysis.

Import all your data using a wider array of import/export formats

Bring all of your own data into your workflow with an even wider range of import/export formats, including elevation, satellite, seismology, microarray, graph, and even the latest Microsoft Excel file format.

Use the broadest statistics and data visualization capabilities on the market

Mathematica 8 offers more statistical distributions than any other system, including specialized coverage of finance, medicine, and engineering. It also adds data distributions and other statistics capabilities. To assist you in a wide array of data analysis, you can use many new statistical and financial charts that take full advantage of Mathematica 8's automation and flexibility to make your results clearer.

Choose from a full suite of engineering tools, such as wavelets and control systems

Mathematica 8 offers new built-in wavelets and control systems. These, combined with Mathematica's fast linear algebra and numerical analysis features, make Mathematica 8 an engineer's dream tool.

Use more powerful image processing and analysis capabilities

Mathematica 8 improves performance and expands coverage of image processing and analysis, adding many new algorithms in areas like filtering, segmentation, shape analysis, and feature detection.

Create interactive tools for rapid exploration of your ideas

Present charts of results, show interactive models, or prototype your next project in an astonishing range of interactive applications with just a few lines of input using Mathematica 8's Manipulate command. You don't have to learn any complicated new concepts or programming ideas to use it.

Develop faster and more powerful applications

Get results faster with new support for CUDA and OpenCL GPU computation. You can also compile directly to C with our new code generation tools.
