Numerical Types in Mathematica & the Wolfram Language

Course:
Mathematica

Mathematica and the Wolfram Language have built in support for the 4 main types of numbers: integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers. You do not need to import any external libraries, or worry about size limitations. Everything just works. In this lesson, we will introduce the numerical types, show you some useful keyboard shortcuts, determine how far you can push your computer, and more.

Course Description
Do you think Mathematica is only for Math? Mathematica can be used in ANY computational field, including math, science, finance, data visualization, bioinformatics, speech recognition, machine learning...you name it! Mathematica started as a system for doing mathematics by computer, but it evolved into the WOLFRAM LANGUAGE, which can be used for all kinds of computation.
