I thought it is a site for mathematics, but just now came through another site. What is the difference by the way? I am new here.
Thanks.

7This is a rare glimpse, my friends. At least one person actually bothered to ask (but sadly did not look around enough) instead of proceeding blindly to ask a question not very related to the software we're using. Why, indeed, do people not see the difference between this and math.SE at once?– J. M.'s missing motivation ModCommented Aug 26, 2015 at 15:50

1@J.M. There was a discussion a long time ago about the site name. I remember me myself saying that too many people will be asking math question here ... anyway.– Dr. belisariusCommented Aug 26, 2015 at 20:00

1I find StackExchange very strict, much professional. :)– Nadia AliCommented Aug 27, 2015 at 1:45

Help and support with mathematics (as a field of science) you can find at Mathematics Stack Exchange. It is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields.
Help and support with Mathematica (a computer algebra system) you can find here, at Mathematica® Stack Exchange. It is a question and answer site for users of Wolfram Mathematica and the Wolfram Language. Mathematica is a computational software program, developed by Wolfram Research, used in many scientific, engineering, mathematical and computing fields, based on symbolic mathematics. The Wolfram Language is the programming language used in Mathematica.
The difference is how you use your ware;
- On Maths.SE you are using pen, paper and brainware.
- On Mathematica.SE you are using pen, paper, brainware, hardware and the software Mathematica.

Made the difference even more obvious, for newcomers. Commented Jun 18, 2016 at 10:51
