| Mathematica: what is symbolic programming? | |
| Symbolic Programming - Wikipedia | In computing, symbolic programming is computer programming in which the program can manipulate formulas and program components as data. Through symbolic programming, complex processes can be developed that build other more intricate processes by combining smaller units of logic or functionality. Programs can thus effectively modify themselves, and appear to "learn", making them suited for applications such as artificial intelligence, expert systems, natural language processing and computer games. Languages that support the symbolic programming paradigm include LISP and Prolog. |
| Wolfram Language | Computational knowledge. Symbolic programming. Algorithm automation. Dynamic interactivity. Natural language. Computable documents. The cloud. Connected devices. Symbolic ontology. Algorithm discovery. These are all things we’ve been energetically working on—mostly for years—in the context of Wolfram|Alpha, Mathematica, CDF and so on. But recently something amazing has happened. We’ve figured out how to take all these threads, and all the technology we’ve built, to create something at a whole different level. The power of what is emerging continues to surprise me. But already I think it’s clear that it’s going to be profoundly important in the technological world, and beyond. |
