Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

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.

Return on Investment

My research work is easier using Mathematica.
Fast plotting and analysis of experimental data.
Saving my time.

Alternatives Considered

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.

Support Rating

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.
