Mathematica 4.1 extends the technologies and advances pioneered by Wolfram Research, Inc. in Mathematica 4. Enhanced solvers, functions, and an improved pattern matcher and compiler allow scientists and researchers to solve more-complex problems more quickly. MathML and HTML integration helps academics and technical professionals share their work over the internet, while J/Link allows the design of innovative applications, combining the strengths of Mathematica and Java.
