I see we just released the "Wolfram Open Cloud" which provides a second way to get free access to Mathematica (in addition to the Raspberry Pi version). The article currently says "Mathematica is proprietary software licensed at a range of prices for commercial, educational, and other uses." I don't think anyone might guess that "range or prices" includes free.

However, I don't think this is a sentance that I can try and update without being accused of 'advertising'. Could someone update the article to reflect those changes.More info hereJonMcLoone (talk)16:44, 28 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

I think an update is in order to account for the recent free release of the Wolfram Engine for Developers on all three major platforms. Where should that go?Ackbeet (talk)16:48, 28 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Short summary of new featureshere, in case anyone wants to update the page.— Precedingunsigned comment added byJonMcLoone (talk •contribs)11:13, 3 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I recently moved the page to this new title because I noticed the name that the program installs as is "Wolfram Mathematica". I wasediting boldly. (Besides,iTunes doesn't install as Apple iTunes. Shouldn't we name the page what the program install as?) However, if anyone feels that the page moves (I also moved the talk page archives) and edits were inappropriate, feel free to revert the edit.

Also note that, while I moved and edited most of the appropriate pages, Idid not edit thecorresponding Wikidata entry as I have no idea what to do there. (The only reason I know about the Wikidata entry is because the special move page told me after the move to edit it.)

@Gestrid: Should the article be rename again to just Wolfram? The program is now installed as "Wolfram 14.x" --Taweetham (talk)07:20, 30 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Plasma cat: The Thai and German still have "Mathematica" as the name of the articles. If we decide to drop the name, Thai Wikipedia will definitely follow. --Taweetham (talk)07:24, 30 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

@WalkingRadiance,Pleasantville,OnMcLoone, andPlasma cat:I propose moving the page from Wolfram Mathematica to Wolfram (software) to reflect recent branding changes, and updating relevant pages such as{{User_mathematica-4}} accordingly.

While I personally prefer the existing name, this isn’t about individual preferences — the article should present an unbiased and up-to-date representation of the software. If the change is uncontroversial, feel free to proceed with the move. Otherwise, if there are no objections within the next 7 days, I will go ahead with the move on the English Wikipedia and follow up with updates to the Thai Wikipedia. --Taweetham (talk)08:59, 17 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

I have updated the page where it was factually incorrect. Others should consider which features are notable (this hasn't really been updated for several releases).

I updated the logos in the user badges. Here they are:

Can this software generate fractals? Should it also be placed in the category for Fractal software and appear onthis template? -Shiftchange (talk)08:34, 7 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Since Fractals have mathematical equations behind their making, Mathematica of course can make them given the proper input. It should not be listed as Fractal software, since Fractal software can usually only do Fractals, where Mathematica can do much more than Fractals.

There is no mention of the company that was named Mathematica, known forRAMIS (software).Pi314m (talk)07:44, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

There now is an article for "Mathematica (company)" so it's time to clarify:

• MOVE "Wolfram Mathematica" -> Wolfram Mathematica (software)
• point "Mathematica" to the company, with a note there re WolframPi314m (talk)09:28, 5 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Why is the article called "Wolfram Mathematica (software)" if there isn't amy other article called that? We only need parentheses if there is another article calledWolfram Mathematica, but it redirects here. This is ridiculous.

I know there is distinguishment between here andMathematica (company), but what is wrong with mentioning the company in the hatnote?Prodigy55 (talk)04:40, 6 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

An admin has deleted the Features section, so now there is only a single line in the article that tries to describe what Mathematica is or does. The rest is mostly about how it connects to other things.

Apparently the article can only mention a few notable features in prose only. No bullets and no attempt to sum up what it does more broadly.

I am copying the deleted content below so that it is not lost. But I am not going to try and write new content...

Hello. I have just tagged this article{{undisclosed paid}}, because it was very heavily edited by a (highly likely paid) sockfarm that is focused almost exclusively on promoting Stephen Wolfram and his work. Please seethis COIN thread (perma) and therelated SPI for more information. The article will need a thorough review before the tag is removed. Thanks and best,Blablubbs|talk15:14, 13 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Although some may refer to Wolfram Mathematica asMathematica, that does not eliminate first-claim to 1967-founded Mathematica. To avoid making Mathematica into a Disambiguation page, it seems best to follow the Wiki WP:MOS guideline of placing a hatnote atop each of the pair (this guideline is specifically when there are no more than two). At some point, 1967-founded Mathematica subdivided into three units: one for the RAMIS database software, one for the often-government-funded economic/econometric research, and another having to do with "Systems"in its title.
