A Problem Solving Environment (PSE) is specialized software for solving one class of problems.

Many PSEs were introduced in the 1990s. They use the language of the respective field and often employ modern graphical user interfaces – the goal is to make the software easy to use for specialists in fields other than computer science. PSEs are available for generic problems like data data visualization or large systems of equations and for narrow fields of science or engineering like gas turbine design.
