"Mathematica running on NEXTSTEP has achieved tremendous success in the academic and financial markets, and we are committed to working with NeXT to expand these markets further," explained Prem Chawla, chief operating officer, Wolfram Research. "It seems clear to us that NEXTSTEP for Intel processors is an outstanding operating system that will be well-accepted in the academic, government and commercial markets." NeXT users have come to rely on Mathematica notebooks, interactive documents that combine live computations, plots, animated graphics, and text to create technical reports, class courseware, even publication-quality books. Now, both NeXT users and the entire PC community can benefit from the notebook interface. "We're very pleased that Mathematica will be available on NEXTSTEP for Intel processors," said Ronald Weissman, director of corporate marketing at NeXT, Inc. "Mathematica is a unique and compelling product, and its architecture allows it to integrate well with NEXTSTEP custom software development. Wolfram Research has been one of NeXT's key partners since the introduction of NEXTSTEP, and we're looking forward to continuing our close relationship. It will only benefit our mutual customers." Price and Availability Mathematica under NEXTSTEP for Intel processors will sell for $1295 and will be available early this fall. Academic pricing starts at $995. Volume discounts and academic site licenses are available. About Mathematica and Wolfram Research, Inc.
