So what is the new functionality in Mathematica 10? It’s a mixture of completely new areas and directions (like geometric computation, machine learning and geographic computation)-together with extensive strengthening, polishing and expanding of existing areas. It is satisfying to see such a long curve of accelerating development-and to realize that there are more new functions being added with Mathematica 10 than there were functions altogether in Mathematica 1. And in effect Mathematica is now an application of the Wolfram Language.īut Mathematica still very much has its own identity too-as our longtime flagship product, and the system that has continually redefined technical computing for more than a quarter of a century.Īnd today, with Mathematica 10, more is new than in any single previous version of Mathematica. One of the recent outgrowths-from combining Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha and more-has been the creation of the Wolfram Language.
But it has always made sense to me-and the success of Mathematica and our company has allowed us to take a very long-term view, continually investing in building layer upon layer of long-term technology. We’ll probably never know whether our commitment to R&D over all these years makes sense at a purely commercial level. And it is also satisfying to see how far we’ve gotten with all the talent and hard work that has been poured into Mathematica over nearly three decades.
But Mathematica 10-released today-represents the single biggest jump in new functionality in the entire history of Mathematica.Īt a personal level it is very satisfying to see after all these years how successful the principles that I defined at the very beginning of the Mathematica project have proven to be. And ever since we’ve been systematically making Mathematica ever bigger, stronger, broader and deeper. We released Mathematica 1 just over 26 years ago-on June 23, 1988. Today I’m pleased to announce the release of a major new version of Mathematica: Mathematica 10. Two weeks ago we launched Wolfram Programming Cloud. We’ve got an incredible amount of new technology coming out this summer.
