Mathematica
Mathematica is a comprehensive software system for numerical, symbolic,
and graphical computations and visualization. Mathematica is an interactive
calculation and graphics tool with a versatile programming language for
fast and accurate solutions to technical problems. Mathematica's electronic
documents, called notebooks, help users organize text, computations,
graphics, and animations for technical reports, courseware, presentations,
or work records.
Recommendation: Use Mathematica whenever you need a powerful
technical computing package, and whenever your application does not
need to run on one of SCD's supercomputers.

Documentation: There is extensive interactive documentation, available
from within the mathematica command by typing ?? (two question
marks), to learn how to access more information about Mathematica objects.
Mathematica product information and some technical documentation are
available from Wolfram Research's webpages.
A reference copy of Steven Wolfram's book Mathematica: A System for Doing
Mathematics by Computer from the Addison-Wesley Publishing Company is
available in Consulting Services, Room 17 of the Mesa Lab.
-
Source code: not available, other than public-domain files under Wolfram
Research's webpages.
-
NCAR users: Mathematica is available to NCAR computer users on some of SCD's
compute-servers. See
"SCD Computers, Products, and Libraries" for the names of those computers.
