webMathematica

Deploys high-powered applications as interactive websites. Creates websites where users can compute and visualize results directly in a web browser.
webMathematica enables dynamic content to be added to websites. Websites with sliders and other interactive controls compute new results when parameters change and graphics, including 3D images, can be rotated in the browser. It is powered by Mathematica's computation and visualisation capabilities and includes automatic server deployment that scales for high traffic and works seamlessly with modern web standards and services.

Key Features:

• Computational Ability: webMathematica provides a large library of Mathematica commands for web development. This allows you to build technical computing web services, including numerical, symbolic andgraphical applications that solve your daily technical computing problems quickly and easily.
  
• Server-Based Computation: There is no software for end users to buy, install, or maintain to use webMathematica sites. All that end users need is a web browser and for some more-advanced features such as interactive 3D graphics, a Java runtime environment.
  
• Ease of Use: All that is needed to take advantage of webMathematica-enhanced sites is a web browser and for some more-advanced features such as interactive 3D graphics, a Java runtime environment. All user interface elements are standard web GUI elements such as sliders, text fields, check boxes and drop-down lists.
