Abstract
Mathematica is an extremely powerful tool designed to perform a multitude of mathematical operations and functions. Stephen Wolfram is the creator of the programming language and has long been a leader in the field of scientific computing. The language is rich in options and the task of learning it may seem daunting at first However, if one proceeds with small steps, first learning the basics and then new functions as becomes necessary, they will be rewarded with learning a robust, powerful language that can be used in virtually any application. Here we discuss examples of Mathematica's utility in risk assessment and review a copy of the newly released version 3. It arrives on a multi‐platform CD (i.e., Windows, Macintosh, UNIX) with a password that allows access on only one of the platforms.
