Wolfram Research is a private company that makes computation software. The founder and CEO of Wolfram Research is Stephen Wolfram, an English scientist and author, who maintains close involvement with the development of Mathematica.
The primary software product of Wolfram Research is the
The company launched
Wolfram Research served as the mathematical consultant for the
Wolfram Research acquired MathCore Engineering AB on March 30, 2011.[4]
On July 21, 2011 Wolfram Research launched the Computable Document Format (CDF). CDF is an electronic document format[5] designed to allow easy authoring[6] of dynamically generated interactive content.
In June 2014, Wolfram Research officially introduced the
Publications
Wolfram Research publishes several free websites including the
The Wolfram Demonstrations Project is a collaborative site hosting interactive technical demonstrations powered by a free Mathematica Player runtime.
Wolfram Research publishes the Mathematica journal and has published several books via Wolfram Media, Wolfram's publishing arm.[9]
Wolfram Research has organized three Wolfram Science conferences in Boston, MA, Washington, D.C. and Burlington, VT in the United States in the years 2003, 2006 and 2007 respectively. Two other independent NKS Midwest conferences have been organized at the Indiana University, Bloomington in 2005 and 2008. Other independent workshops related to NKS research have been also organized overseas, such as JOUAL (Just One Universal Algorithm) at the CNR in Pisa, Italy in 2009.
Wolfram Research hosts the yearly Wolfram Technology Conference in Champaign, IL.[10] During this three-day conference, developers discuss the latest Wolfram technologies for mobile devices, cloud computing, interactive deployment, and more.
They are experimenting with electronic textbook creation.[11]
