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
