Announcing Mathematica 7: Parallel Computing - 508 New Features - 12 new Application areas - 1 Highly Integrated System -
Mathematica seamlessly integrates a numeric and symbolic computational engine, graphics system, programming language, documentation system, and advanced connectivity to other applications. It is this range of capabilities--many world-leading in their own right--that makes Mathematica uniquely capable as a \"one-stop shop\" for you or your organization s technical work.
Mathematica technology puts a friendly face on science and mathematics education. While leading researchers use Mathematica to solve exacting problems of great complexity, over five hundred colleges and high schools use Mathematica technology as an integral part of their coursework--for the same reasons that make Mathematica right for you.
With Wolfram Research's broad range of products, teachers can work more efficiently, improve their classroom experience, and provide students with tools for independent learning.
Each product is powerful in its own right. Together they form a comprehensive environment for secondary education

High school teachers and students are pushing the limits of traditional learning with Mathematica as more and more schools are integrating Mathematica technology into their math and science curricula. Here's how several notable schools and organizations are using Mathematica extensively in their curricula.
Students at The Harker School have a higher-than-average interest in pursuing careers in math, science, and technical fields. Officials at the century-old institution are convinced that learning Mathematica now will help better prepare students for their university studies and future careers.
Croatian math and computer science teacher Maja Cvitkovic is not content with the same old math lessons. So when she recently had the opportunity to use Mathematica with a group of teenage students at a workshop in Zagreb, she devised a lesson that gave them a chance to play.
High school math will never be the same at Torrey Pines High School in San Diego, California. Abby Brown and her students are pushing the limits of traditional learning with Mathematica. "Visualization is so valuable, and Mathematica is a tremendous tool for this," says Brown.
Wolfram Research, Inc., headquartered in Champaign, Illinois, demonstrated its commitment to education with a recent donation to area schools. Each school received Mathematica licenses for classroom use as well as assistance in paying for math tournament fees.
Sarah Flannery was named the Irish Young Scientist of the Year at age 16 for her work using Mathematica to devise a highly innovative, fast, and secure new algorithm for data encryption of internet and other electronic communications.
Mathematica is currently used in thousands of high schools to help students learn math and science. Around the world, teachers use Mathematica's capabilities for graphs, animations, and quick problem-solving, as well as to administer quizzes and homework assignments.
Below are a few examples of Mathematica use around the world, followed by a list of just some of the very many high schools in the U.S. that have already adopted Mathematica.
Victoria, Australia
The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) implemented a computer algebra system (CAS) active pilot study from 2001-2005, with students from 20 schools using hand-held and computer-based CAS for both learning and end-of-secondary-schooling examinations. Wolfram Research has worked with the VCAA to support several schools using Mathematica as their approved CAS for this pilot study. For further details visit the VCAA website.
Gujarat, India
The State Government of Gujarat, under its Classroom Project for High Schools, has introduced Mathematica into the math and science curriculum for the 12th standard. Gujarat, one of the largest and most prosperous states in India, passed a resolution making Mathematica a regular part of the syllabus. Mathematica was initially adopted in 300 schools within the state. Over the next five years, the program will gradually be extended to about 2,000 schools, eventually including all high schools in Gujarat.
Naucalpan, Mexico
The Sierra Nevada School in Naucalpan, Mexico has long been known as a premier private school for bilingual studies. Now, Sierra Nevada has taken steps to increase its students' opportunities to learn with Mathematica. After using Mathematica for several years, the School is working with Wolfram Research to provide perpetual licenses for each of their first-year high school students for use throughout their high school career and into their campus InterLomas university studies. In addition, each student will receive three years of Premier Service, giving them free upgrades and technical support during their high school studies.
