Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

All the functions in Abramowitz & Stegun are now fully computable in the Wolfram Language. And from the “worst-case” way the interval was computed this now provides a definite theorem. We’ve also built our groundbreaking symbolic computational geometry system that lets us flexibly describe regions for PDEs.
