In our organization we use Wolfram Mathematica as a knowledge engine. The knowlegde is rudimentally used as associations and early or late rules. We enjoy the enornous versatility of the Mathematica libraries for mathematical problems. We focus on optimization, computing and representation of problems and solutions. Mathematica offers a high degree of coverage of Mathematics by the corpui of Wolfram Mathematica. The mCAX system does not offer everything but it opens the fields of Mathematics wide and often deep. As for partial differential equations we favour that there are benchmarks avialable already freely over the internet to compare Wolfram Mathematica powers to that of competitors or even harder sometimes to standardization library. State-of-the-art does not come from little efforts and single scientist nowadays and large scale cluster computing is still not all what makes up innovations. We use often the convolution powers of Mathematica because that is the Mathematics of the future from our standpoint.

Wolfram Mathematica provide a 5th generation language with many features agglomerated from the very best programmatic paradigms. The philosophy knowledge is what works is overcome by the eclectic means for selecting the best performing ones for the orientation of high efficiencies. Wolfram Mathematica provides a satisfying amount of educational and deep Math knowledge and numerical routines. We enjoy the covering features set for visualization. The sets of data analysis and as well graphical as geometrical calculations are convincing. We have great success with the interactivity features making all the knowledge clear and transparent for customers.

Wolfram Mathematica is being used by students and faculty at Virginia Tech. Engineering, Math, and Stat students use it occasionally. It mostly helps students solve some numerical problems very quickly and to get a hunch of the overall solution (if available).

We are using Wolfram Mathematica in our physics department. Many professors as well as graduate students are using it in their research work. As a graduate student, I am using it regularly in my research. It is very useful tool in physics and engineering research. Our physics department has been using Wolfram Mathematica for many years.

Mathematica is basically used by few of us who are doing some kind of work around machine learning and mathematics. Most of the time we have used this tool to solve some mathematical calculas differentiation problem, apart from that I have also used its API of speech and machine learning. And not everyone was using this, it is restricted to specific departments only.

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.

Wolfram Mathematica is a desktop environment for building applications in the Wolfram Language. The Wolfram Language, in turn, is a functional programming utility for solving all sorts of complex problems in a wide variety of fields, from science to business and government.

Ours is a consultancy that uses tools like Mathematica to solve insanely hard problems for our clients, which are mostly large corporations with complex operations. Everyone at our small firm uses Mathematica in one way or another.

While Mathematica can quite literally do anything, the most common use case is as a means to build a mathematical model or representation of some complex system that one wishes to study using data. Along the way the model builder can use the vast array of internal functions (6500 or so at last count) to perform operations as diverse as image processing, statistics, and optimization. The real benefit of Mathematica is in its ability to allow model builders to generate such models very quickly with less code than other languages like Python or R.

Wolfram is used for analytics purpose and some time we use this for audio and image processing as well. And, I myself use this product for solving problems of mathematics which include calculus. This tool is very powerful for analysis and it generates very good looking plots. Solving mathematical problem using this is very interesting.

I have used Mathematica for doing heavy computation and for data visualisations. Basically, I have used this tool when I was in my college. It is being used by one department of our college who are doing some kind of research. We have used this to do the heavy operation around matrix and visualising the data. We are using this solve a research problem.
