BEIJING, Oct. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolfram Research announces a monumental upgrade for Chinese users of the Mathematica software along with a major commitment by the Beijing National Day School.

Mathematica 10 (including the iterations 10.1, 10.2, and soon 10.3) adds thousands of new localization and functional features, previously absent for Chinese users.  The Beijing National Day School, a well-known and innovative junior and senior high school in Beijing, has signed a Mathematica site license.

"Academic site licensing is historically rare in China, and customers tend to favor upfront purchases," said Shannon Chen, International Business Development Executive. "This school's decision to sign a site license speaks to its confidence in and commitment to Wolfram technology."

Shannon Chen has been working with the school for a year, helping them utilize an evaluation license to win prizes in several regional, national, and international academic competitions. The school also used the license in the classroom, with teachers and students viewing Mathematica as an incredible tool to learn mathematical modeling and expressing plans to expand usage into other classes.

Carefully translated by technical professionals, the entire Mathematica interface has been fully localized and includes all new features:

  • Over 5,000 built-in functions
  • Over 1500 tutorials, guides, and How-Tos
  • Free access to the online Chinese Documentation Center anytime, anywhere
  • Support for the Wolfram Data Drop universal data accumulator
  • Automatic object identification: ImageIdentify
  • New information visualization: WordCloud, TimelinePlot, and themes for gauges
  • Language-level support for OpenSSL-backed cryptography
  • Built-in access to Wikipedia content
  • Performance, documentation, and interoperability improvements to Dataset
