Mathematica, an advanced software tool, has proven to be invaluable for a wide range of use cases. Academic and research settings find it particularly useful for heavy computation, data visualization, and matrix operations. Users appreciate its versatility, combining features from different programming paradigms to achieve high efficiencies. Mathematica is highly regarded for its coverage of mathematics, providing a comprehensive set of tools for solving complex mathematical problems and generating visually appealing plots. It is also commonly used in physics and engineering research, where it serves as a valuable tool for graduate students, professors, and researchers. Students and faculty in various disciplines, such as engineering, math, and statistics, rely on Mathematica to quickly solve numerical problems and gain insights into overall solutions. Additionally, consulting firms utilize Mathematica to tackle challenging problems for large corporations with complex operations. These varied applications showcase the power and utility of Mathematica across a wide range of industries and domains.

Versatility: Users have appreciated the versatility of Wolfram Mathematica, with multiple reviewers mentioning its support for various programmatic paradigms such as pure functions, procedural programming, list processing, and even object-oriented programming with a bit of setup.

Graphical Rendering Tools: Reviewers have found the extensive and rich tools for graphical rendering in Wolfram Mathematica to be very helpful. They mentioned that it not only allows for 2D and 3D renderings of final output but also enables quick-and-dirty 2D and 3D rendering of intermediate and debugging results.

AI and KI Data Analysis: Several users consider Wolfram Mathematica to be excellent for solving a wide range of mathematical problems, including PDEs. They highlight its strength in AI and KI data analysis, making it a preferred choice for tackling complex analytical challenges.

Slowness of numerical routines: Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the speed of Wolfram Mathematica compared to C code implementation for numerical routines.

Incomplete implementation of new functionality: Reviewers have noted that certain new functionalities in Mathematica, such as limited MeshRegions, are not fully implemented, which can be frustrating for users looking to utilize these features.

Crashes on Windows platform: Several users have reported experiencing crashes on the Windows platform when using Mathematica, indicating that the underlying core of the software does not work equally well across platforms.

I use Mathematica as my "Swiss army knife" of analysis, design, and modeling of origami-related structures and mechanisms. It allows me to model origami problems at varying levels of idealization, ranging from simple 2-D polygonal models, to 3-D shapes with thickness, stress/strain relationships, and analytic descriptions of curved folding.
  • 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.
It works very well for modeling origami.

  • It lets me solve many of the origami-related problems that I've taken on.
The ability to manipulate algebraic expressions, nested lists, and data structures in Mathematica was unequalled when I first did the comparison. Since then, I've stuck with Mathematica mostly because it's "the tool I know."
