Are the algorithms used by Mathematica published?
A8. The Mathematica Book summarises the major algorithms that are used in Version 3.0. Of course, in the half million lines of source code that make up Mathematica, there are a great many details that can’t be summarised easily. Wolfram Research technical support can usually provide further information on particular algorithms if needed. In addition, many of the mathematical algorithms for Mathematica are written in the Mathematica language, and Wolfram Research makes the Mathematica code for these available to researchers.
