• The Wolfram Edge
• How Wolfram Compares
• Key Capabilities

Wolfram technologies include thousands of built-in functions and curated data on many topics that let you:

• Do mathematical modeling to study galaxy formation, stellar dynamics and other topics
• Perform image processing of astronomical objects
• Use built-in astronomy data for real-time computation of positions of astronomical objects
• Perform sophisticated data analysis and optimization routines for astrophysical modeling
• Plot orbits of planets, exoplanets, stars and other astronomical bodies using built-in astronomical data
• Perform spectral analysis of irregularly sampled time-series data

Does your current tool set have these advantages?

• Free-form linguistic input produces immediate results without the need for syntax
  Unique to Wolfram technologies
• Built-in astronomy data for real-time dynamic computation of astronomical object positions
  Unique to Wolfram technologies
• Automatic interface construction to interactively visualize your simulations, examine model sensitivity to parameter changes and more
  Unique to Wolfram technologies
• Tight integration of the core Mathematica system with more than 20 built-in application areas such as image processing, GIS, statistics and more
  Matlab requires multiple extra-cost toolboxes
• Powerful symbolic statistical computation and data analysis using built-in functions
  R, STATA and other numerical systems do not have integrated symbolic functionality
• Fully automated precision control and arbitrary-precision arithmetic produce accurate results
  All systems relying on finite precision arithmetic, such as Excel or Matlab, can cause errors due to lack of precision
• Seamless integration of numerics, symbolics, interactive graphics and all other computational aspects in one system
