Mathematica by Wolfram Research
Product Description
Almost
any workflow involves computing results, and that's what Mathematica
does—from building a hedge fund trading website or publishing
interactive engineering textbooks to developing embedded image
recognition algorithms or teaching calculus.
Mathematica is renowned as the world's ultimate application for
computations. But it's much more—it's the only development platform
fully integrating computation into complete workflows, moving you
seamlessly from initial ideas all the way to deployed individual or
enterprise solutions.
With more than 20 years of experience and millions of users from
Fortune 500 companies to government departments to thousands of
universities worldwide, Mathematica technology lies behind many of the
world's most impressive projects, processes, and organizations—and your
future innovation?

Principal Characteristics
Compute
Numerics of any precision, symbolics, or
visualization—Mathematica is the ultimate computational tool, with
systemwide technology to ensure reliability, ease of use, and
performance. Use Mathematica computation directly, as the engine in an
infrastructure, or integrated into a standalone application. Clck here

To use Mathematica 8's
built-in GPU built-in GPU computing capabilities, you'll need a
graphics card that supports OpenCL or CUDA, such as many cards from
NVIDIA, AMD, and others.

*Debian users will need the 32-bit compatibility library, lib32stdc++6.
Mathematica 8 has been fully tested on the Linux distributions listed
below. On new Linux distributions, additional compatibility libraries
may need to be installed. It is likely that Mathematica will run
successfully on other distributions based on the Linux kernel 2.6 or
later.
Mathematica supports an X Window System front end, and since Version 7
has used the Qt application framework for its user interface—the same
used by the major Linux desktop environment KDE. Regular tests are run
on both enterprise and popular open-source Linux distributions.
Additional Notes: To use the new C compilation feature in Mathematica 8, a C compiler is required to be present.
