Mathematica

Wolfram Mathematica is a software system with built-in functions for several areas of technical computing that allow machine learning, statistics, symbolic computation, manipulating matrices, plotting functions and various types of data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other programming languages.

New for February 2025: The Mathematica Code Assistant can now be integrated with the U-M GPT Toolkit. Visit this U-M Generative AI Use Case for benefits and instructions.
