Eureqa is a scientific data mining software package that searches for mathematical patterns hidden in your data. Download the program here for Windows, Linux, or Mac. An overview of Formulize can be found on the Introduction Video.
This user-guide wiki contains basic instructions and examples, as well as in-depth information for more advanced users. We welcome your suggestions and requests for improving this resource. If you're interested in contributing to the wiki directly, please contact us so we can add you as a member.
The user guide from 10,000 feet
Eureqa's user interface is organized as a set of seven tabs that correspond to the normal workflow through the program, and this user guide is organized around those tabs. The seven main pages linked to below explain the most important features and options available on each tab.

- Using date and time variables (blog post)
- Set Target Tab
- Target Expression Examples — shows how to design your target expression so that Eureqa will search for the kind of model you want.
- Building Blocks List — lists and briefly explains the functions and operations you can choose to include in your formula search.

- Prior Solutions — explains how to use prior solutions and/or initial gases to give Eureqa a headstart.
- Setting and using validation data (blog post)
- Row Weight (the same page as that found above under "Prepare Data Tab")
- Modeling Binary Output
