Examples: Calculators

webMathematica enables users of Mathematica in commercial, research, and other institutions to provide their colleagues with online, interactive access to their Mathematica functions and packages. All of the computational power in Mathematica is available to build special calculators and problem solvers that are delivered over the web or your corporate intranet.

The development process is so simple that most Mathematica users can proceed through it without having to go through long development cycles or needing the services of dedicated developers. In many cases, all that is required is adding the Mathematica commands and a couple of simple tags to a web page.

Wolfram Mathematica Online Integrator is a Wolfram Research-developed website that solves integration problems. The heart of Integrator is Mathematica's built-in function Integrate--the same one used by accessing Mathematica directly. Originally developed in 1997, the first Integrator used MathLink programs and a variety of Perl scripts to send commands back and forth from the web server to the Mathematica kernel and from the kernel to the front end. The programming was complex and time-consuming, even for experienced Mathematica developers and web programmers. The current Integrator is a webMathematica implementation. Using the same web interface, the underlying system was completely reworked within a matter of hours.
