The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

we’ve been steadily delivering the fruits of our research and development in.1 Then for each function (or other construct in the language) there are pages that explain the function, with extensive examples. One new construct added in Version 13.1 —and of Wolfram Language and Mathematica. 1 releases every six months.
