CalculationCenter is the new easy-to-learn, easy-to-use solution for gettingyour calculations done.
Anyone who wants to perform calculations without investing a lot oftime and energy—engineers, scientists,financial analysts, and teachers—willbenefit from using CalculationCenter.
Based on more than four years of development, CalculationCenterintroduces a new interface concept that gets you calculating in as little as 10 minutes. And without learning syntax or reading a manual, you’ll be ready to use hundreds of symbolic,numeric, and graphic functions right away.
You can use CalculationCenter to solveall the technical problems you routinelyencounter in your everyday work. Use itas a numeric and symbolic calculator.Use it as a matrix toolbox or data analyzer. Use it as a function- and data-plotting system. And finally, use itas a technical word processor, seamlessly integrating all your results inone complete document.
CalculationCenter has been designedand tested to the same exacting standards as Mathematica®—WolframResearch’s world-leading technical computation software—giving you top quality that is affordable.
Create interactive technical reports topublish online or in print
• uses the .nb notebook format-----share documents with over a million current users
• combines text, graphics, and typeset calculations in one interactive document
• can be shared electronically with colleagues, even if they don’t run CalculationCenter
• ready for direct publication on the web
• much more versatile than any calculator
Use controllers customized for eachfunction
• pastes an InstantCalculator into your notebook as a template for your calculation
• helps use of equivalent text commands
• accesses function notes and help topics
Generate 2D and 3D graphics and animations
• uses SmartPlot to pick the best plot type and range for your input—automatically
• offers manual graphing control to override SmartPlot
• includes numerous styles for each plot type
Use traditional notation for input
• intelligently interprets math notation
• formats expressions in 2D as you input them
• resolves any ambiguous input automatically
• suggests an alternative to input that isn’t understood—very often just what you meant
Unique InstantCalculators use plain language to guide you through your calculation
• customized for each of hundreds of functions
• as easy as “filling in the blanks”
• examples always available to help you determine what to fill in
• stay in your document as long as you want, for re-evaluation or reference—much better than a dialog box
Produce fully typeset, editable output
• outputs publication-style formulas as you go
• continues calculations by reusing outputas input
• re-evaluates output directly
• adjusts formatting automatically as you edit
• intelligently selects subexpressions for copy and paste or function application
Calculate symbolically as well as numerically
• no need for manual calculation up front• reliable, accurate numerics• no macro coding—so much easier than
a spreadsheet!
NEW FEATURES
• broad new statistics capabilities
• support for the latest math-on-the-web standards
• help for Excel and Mathcad users
• inequality plotting
• better error-correction technology
• new import and export formats
• speed improvements
• further quality enhancements

THE CALCULATIONCENTER WORKSPACEWhether you need algebraic solutions, number crunching, data analysis, plotting, or technical report writing, CalculationCenter gives youquick access to the right tools for the job. All this and no need to read manuals! Here’s how CalculationCenter works:
“Calculations are blisteringly fast, and the repertoire of functions available is extensive and, frankly, amazing...”- Wilf Hey, PCPlus
“A lot of work has gone into making CalculationCenter easy to use...”- Michael Swaine, Dr. Dobb’s Journal
“...the best introduction yet to symbolic mathcomputation.”- Charles Seiter, Macworld
“CalculationCenter...greatly simplifies the way calculations are performed.”- John A. Wass, Science
”Technical report writers, engineers, financial analysts, and even scientists and students will be charmed by CalculationCenter ’s power in an easy-to-use environment...”- Erik Vlietinck, IT-Enquirer
“CalculationCenter impressed me as a product that could easily be picked up aftera long absence without the delay of relearning how to operate it.”- Ray Girvan, Scientific Computing World
