And now we have Heun functions, that solve equations with four regular singular points.

But in Version 12.1 we’ve generalized that. Typical hypergeometric functions are solutions to differential equations with three regular singular points.

Over the years we’ve gradually added a few other kinds of hypergeometric functions (as well as 250 other new kinds of special functions). We covered univariate hypergeometric functions-adding the general pF q case in Version 3.0. Back in Version 1.0 we already had 70 special functions. One long-term story has to do with special functions. And for the Wolfram Language (which also means for Mathematica) we’re always pushing the frontiers of what’s computable in math. Continuous & Discrete Calculus More Math, As Always (March 2020) The contents of this post are compiled from Stephen Wolfram’s Release Announcements for 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 and 13.0.

Here are the updates in symbolic and numeric computation since then, including the latest features in 13.0. Two years ago we released Version 12.0 of the Wolfram Language.
