We are the judgement that Wolfram Mathematica is despite many critics based on the paradigms selected a mark in the fields of the markets for computations of all kind. Wolfram Mathematica is even a choice in fields where other bolide systems reign most of the market. Wolfram Mathematica offers rich flexibility and internally standardizes the right methodologies for his user community. Wolfram Mathematica is not cheap and in need of a hard an long learner journey. That makes it weak in comparison with of-the-shelf-solution packages or even other programming languages. But for systematization of methods Wolfram Mathematica is far in front of almost all the other. Scientist and interested people are able to develop themself further and Wolfram Matheamatica users are a human variant for themself. The reach out for modern mathematics based science is deep and a unique unified framework makes the whole field of mathematics accessable comparable to the brain of Albert Einstein. The paradigms incorporated are the most efficients and consist in assembly on the market. The mathematics is covering and fullfills not just education requirements but the demands and needs of experts.

Mathematica is incompatible with other systems for mCAx and therefore the borders between the systems are hard to overcome. Wolfram Mathematica should be consider one of the more open systems because other code can be imported and run but on the export side it is rathe incompatible by design purposes. A better standard for all that might solve the crisis but there is none in sight. Selection of knowledge of what works will be in the future even more focussed and general system might be one the lossy side. Knowledge of esthetics of what will be in the highest demand in necessary and Wolfram is not a leader in this field of science. Mathematics leves from gathering problems from application fields and less from the glory of itself and the formalization of this.

Mathematica is very useful in calculus problem. It deals greatly with mathematical operations such as differentiation, integration, matrix multiplication and so on. Simple data analysis is very easy using Mathematica. Mathematica has great functions for plotting and charting the data.
It has some good features included in Machine Learning model. But there are many functions that can be included in Mathematica for better improvements. So, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence will be easier in Mathematica.

I think Mathematica is the best computational engine as of now. You can just ask a maths question and it will answer in great detail. It performs very well when you need to solve any kind of calculus problem of integration or operations over a matrix. And it is not very much well suited when you are doing some work in machine learning. I think for machine learning other tool will work better.

Well suited for:
  • A data science or analytics team performing analysis in support of a business problem
  • Building a sandbox for corporate analytical capability
  • Rapid prototyping of ideas for helpful applications of scientific/engineering/technical approaches
  • Building intelligent algorithms that underlie systems or web applications

Less appropriate for:
  • Full scale web application development
  • User interface development

If you are doing some kind of analysis and want most of the thing automated then I would suggest using this tool. Also, if you are developing any solution which includes solving big mathematical equations and need to do some image processing, then you should use this.

It will be very well suited when you are developing anything around mathematics as it can solve almost everything mathematics from calculus to algebra. Also, visualising data with this tool is very easy and efficient. Now, it also provides the speech and image API, so you can also use this tool while doing something around speech and images like speech to text conversion or finding some information out of images etc.
