So what’s new in Mathematica 5.0?

If you are looking for a major visible change in what you see with Mathematica then I’m afraid you will have to wait until the next version. So just what is new? It’s all under the hood where the core coding has been improved dramatically and the horizons of Mathematica have been dramatically improved. In the past there have been many problems when developmental work was feasible with Mathematica but it was necessary to switch to other software for production runs – the aim of this upgrade is to eliminate the need to switch.
