Mathematica is a platform for technical computing used by applied mathematicians and engineers. While Mathematica is an immensely powerful and productive system it hasn’t been on the radar of most practitioners of the computer arts. Sadly, the computer science crowd never gets to see the beautiful programming language that is the heart of Mathematica, which has now been named “The Wolfram Language”. Of course, the Mathematica Programming Language is a functional programming language and a dynamically typed one at that. I will expose the audience some of the features of the language that are like nothing else in the world of programming. I hope to give enough of a taste of Mathematica to encourage software developers to give Mathematica or the Wolfram Cloud a try.
