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).
  • 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.
Wolfram Mathematica is excellent for closed-form solutions of integrals.
It has some room for improvement in numerical analysis.

  • It saved me time by telling me that some given complex integrals do not have a closed-form solution.
They are quite responsive, but I think a better help document would be great.

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.
  • 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 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.

  • My research work is easier using Mathematica.
  • Fast plotting and analysis of experimental data.
  • Saving my time.
Well, Mathematica is free at my university. As a graduate student, you can download and install Mathematica in your device after log in through your university email. Second, it has very nice platform. You can use Mathematica for many data analysis such as plotting, integration and matrix multiplication. It is very easy and fast. I have been using this for about 3 years and I am familiar with it.
Wolfram Mathematica is a nice software package. It has very nice features and easy to install and use in your machine. Besides this, there is a nice support from Wolfram. They come to the university frequently to give seminars in Mathematica. I think this is the best thing they are doing. That is very helpful for graduate and undergraduate students who are using Mathematica in their research.
