Wolfram Computation Meets Knowledge

Wolfram Notebooks

Giving ideas a broad communication pipeline—accelerating research, education and technical development

Wolfram Notebooks offer the preeminent environment for any technical workflows—data science, modeling, research and education—empowering users with literate programming, easy-to-author interactivity and universal deployment across all platforms.

Carefully designed to leverage familiar word-processing metaphors, Wolfram Notebooks are uniquely powerful interactive documents that support live computation, arbitrary dynamic interfaces, full typeset input, image input, automatic code annotation, a complete high-level programmatic interface and, in all, thousands of carefully organized functions and options. Wolfram pioneered the notebook in 1988 and has led innovation on the concept ever since; the notebook has now been widely adopted as the new paradigm for technical discourse and collaboration.

How Wolfram Notebooks Work

Generate results right away with interactive coding, natural language queries and expansive documentation—no programming experience required.

Input

Output

Shift+Enter evaluates input

% refers to the most recent output


Typing a function name
generates suggestions


Hovering over a function name gives
a summary or documentation

Interactive 3D rotation

Input and output are
organized in "cells"

Entities are fully computable


Ctrl+= enables free-form input


The Wolfram Language
automatically interprets it.

Code captions translate
function names
