Mathematica is a computational engine. It is probably the closest tool we have to an effective universal computer in its broadest sense.
Mathematica is the pinacle of Wolfram research, the company built by Stephen Wolfram, initially to develop Mathematica, now with extended ambitions in various areas of computational interest (see a new kind of science and Wolfram|Alpha as other major examples).
