ABSTRACT
Mathematica, as part of its computable data functionality, includes the command FinancialData to access finance-related information. The latest Mathematica versions include multiple capabilities related to economics and finance. The new functionality makes it easy to perform financial visualizations and to access both historical and real time data. The commands related to stock markets and financial derivatives would be especially useful to readers interested in investment portfolio management. Additionally, the functions for optimization, with applications in economics and many other fields have been improved significantly. A new function to solve the Traveling Salesman Problem in a very efficient way has been included. Mathematica, as part of its computable data functionality, includes the command Financial Data to access finance-related information. Although in theory the program can display thousands of indicators, in reality the accessible ones are mostly those related to the US markets.
