Vetted Review

- Wolfram Mathematica is great in AI and KI data analysis.
- Wolfram Mathematica is great in solving of any kind of mathematical problem for examples PDEs.
- Wolfram Mathematica has efficient and versatile feature for visualization problems.
- Wolfram Mathematica offers a selection of the efficients programming paradigms is therefore one of the first choices for programming on the 5th level of programming languages.
- The notebook interface is a to strict choice for the in and out paradigma. Hidding information may be a better choice sometimes for a better understanding. It is not well MathML friendly.
- Mathematica is too properitary. Other venturers are able to integrate user initiative better into the corpui the represent. It is too slow for many information innovation and in part to restricted to a tough internet integration. Efforts for integration of for example information markups from standards of the ISOOSI stack and else are missing or to tedious to program from scratch.
- Mathematica is not very well at import and export. Too many formats of interest are missing and there is much knowledge hidden behind for a better efficiency.
- Mathematica focusses to much on properitary formats like notebook and cdf. Microsoft is far ahead and has survived the fears hidden behind that behaviour.
- Other decision are not handed open enough to the users of Wolfram Mathematica for example with the integrated use of standards in Mathematics.

Excellent for quick insights into complex integrals!
- Computation of integrals and sums in "closed form" (if possible) very quickly, much better than MATLAB
- For an engineer, it can act as a very good complement to MATLAB.
- It's very user-friendly.
- I do not see any negative points about Wolfram Mathematica so far! Maybe just improve the readability of the "help" environment, something similar to the strong "help" of MATLAB.
- Plotting and charting.
- Numerical calculation.
- Animation.
- Matrix multiplication and mathematical functions.
- Should include more libraries and functions.
- Should include more functions that can be used in Machine Learning.
- Should include more functions that can be used in Data Science.

Mathematica Cloud - have you used it?
- Analytic Calculus and Algebra
- Complex Equation Solving
- Data Analytics
- Reference for definitions and data standards
- Mathematica forum is often cold and unresponsive
- Mathematica online forum is not handled professionally by moderators - lacks warmth
- Mathematica official support is cold and curt

Amazing mathematical computation tool
- Mathematica performs well when it comes to solve the mathematical problem specifically from calculus.
- You can ask mathematica in natural English language and it will understand and will give you answers.
- It has been good while performing analysis on data. It's easy to plot nice graphs/plot with this tool.
- Also, the way it solves the problem and represents the solution is just amazing. You can see step by step solutions.
- It is not easy to use this tool as it has it's own scripting language and learning that is not straight forward.
- On machine learning part of it, I think it should and can improve as there are other tool as well like TensorFlow, Keras which are doing very good.
- It's a very heavy tool to install on community system and will be good if we can integrate this other tool like TensorFlow, python.

Mathematica: great for Origami
- It allows straightforward integration of analytic analysis of algebraic expressions and their numerical implemented.
- Supports varying programmatic paradigms, so one can choose what best fits the problem or task: pure functions, procedural programming, list processing, and even (with a bit of setup) object-oriented programming.
- The extensive and rich tools for graphical rendering make it very easy to not just get 2D and 3D renderings of final output, but also to do quick-and-dirty 2D and 3D rendering of intermediate results and/or debugging results.
- It is, unfortunately, quite slow compared to, say, C code implementation of numerical routines. (However, getting a routine up and running is still vastly faster in Mathematica, so the tradeoff is worth it.)
- New functionality is sometimes not implemented as fully as it could be: MeshRegions are still fairly limited.
- The underlying core doesn't work equally well across platforms: things that run fine on Mac crash on Windows.
- You can stay in one environment as you progress from idea to prototype to production code to deployment; this hastens the development cycle at every step along the way
- You can take advantage of the thousands (> 6000) functions that perform many math and logic transformations that are common to analysis today
- The notebook interface is a very natural way to program, and allows code to be interwoven with explanatory text.
- Mathematica is one of the most stable software platforms in the world, in existence for 30 years.
- Depending on the size of the application, the cost of licenses can be prohibitive in some cases, especially for Wolfram Private Cloud.

One of the best computation engines
- Doing the analysis is very good, plotting the data, getting the insight from data using this is easy and output looks pretty good
- Solving mathematical problems, with detailed solutions step by step (mainly calculus problems)
- You can also query this knowledge engine in simple English. It has ability to interpret that and will give you answer accordingly
- Nowadays, it provides API to use, so you can do image processing, video/audio using this
- Needs lot of learning. Wolfram has a very vast language. It take lots of time to understand and learn it
- Input system is not good, that needs improvement.
- Sometimes, writing an equation is very difficult in this tool

Best computation knowledge engine with great power
- It is a very powerful tool for data visualisation and computation.
- Solving mathematics mainly calculus is very easy. Visualising the solution step by step is a great thing you can see in this tool.
- It's easy to do heavy computation like finding the inverse of a big matrix, doing matrix multiplications etc.
- One of the best features is that it can also understand natural language. So, you can write a query in simple English and it can interpret that and can find a solution for you.
- The first and the biggest con is that it takes a long time to learn this language. Writing a mathematical equation is not so easy in this tool. And its documentation is very big and sometimes I feel that the documentation is confusing.
- Pricing for this tool is too high. Not everyone can afford to buy this product and the free trial has lots of limitation.
- And I think the last con is that its interpreter is slow.
