| Wolfram Research is the creator of the excellent software-Mathematica, which is the world's only fully integrated environment for technical computing. It has the numerical-computation and powerful symbolic-manipulation capabilities and is the excellent tool for scientific computation. Many scientists apply Mathematica to solve all kinds of structural problems in engineering and other fields.The problem of optimal design and control of composite laminated plates is very complexity. The research is presented based on the classical laminate theories for special boundary conditions and few papers have been formulated based on higher-order laminate theories with various cases of boundary conditions.The paper will create the structural-engineering program with Mathematica to solve the problem of composite laminated plates based on higher-order laminate theories with various cases of boundary conditions.In the field of numerical-computation, Fortran is an old and practical computer language with great efficiency and speed, but it has not symbolic manipulation. However, although it has powerful symbolic-manipulation capabilities, Mathematica is awful limited in executable speed. The paper will combine Fortran with Mathematica to realize symbolic manipulation in the latter and numerical computation in the former . With the rapid development of computer, the finite-element method is widely applied in civil engineering and other fields. However, it is very difficult to write the finite-element program with Fortran or C by reason of the excessive long sentences and complex structure. In the paper, one method was introduced to design thefinite-element program with three kinds of languages -- Mathematica , VisualFortran and Imsl. Because of the full advantage of these languages, the programs have the characteristics of brief sentences ,high accuracy and ordered texture.
