Mathematica at the University of Aizu
Mathematica
is one of the most useful research tools available,
with extensive features for
calculation,
plotting,
and programming.
(Other electronic math packages in use at the University of Aizu
include Maple and Matlab.)
It is a very useful bridge between mathematics,
programming logic, and C/Unix,
since it has essentially C- or Java-style syntax and programming logic/structure,
but allows programming in
procedural- (like Java or C),
object-oriented (like Objective-C or Java),
logic- (like Prolog),
and AI/list-based or functional (like Lisp) styles.
Besides calculation,
it includes multidimensional plotting, graphics, animation, and sound.
