How powerful is Mathematica?  Will its inclusion with computers from NeXT
increase the rate of mathematical analysis and research?

I hope this speculative posting does not irritate many readers.  I am currently
defining my research area, and I want ideas and views about computer
applications to the processing and communication of high-level information.
References will be appreciated.  I am wondering if Mathematica defines any
file format that could be used for the widespread exchange of mathematical
information in analytic form.
