Wolfram Mathematica Reviews

One of the oldest mathematics software (first version 1988) that has helped many scientists, artists, business houses implement advanced mathematical models into their work.

They need to work in a team and stop giving an impression that the world of programming is the world of Wolfram. Little reference or appreciation for other programming languages and habit of self-praising by its founder belittles his own real accomplishments.

I like the flexibility of wolfram. The online version is also free for most things which make quick math problems a breeze if you don't need step by step solutions.

Sometimes when I am trying to solve a complicated math problem it would be nice to see the steps to the solution. I am not a fan of paying for this.

Wolfram is very good as mathematical computation engine. When it comes to solves the difficult mathematical problem, it is the very much needed solution for all kind of problem. You can solve whole of Calculas of mathematics with this tool. Also, along with that it offers a lot of other thing for image processing, machine learning and more.

With great power and usability it comes with a few negatives as well. It is not easy to use this as you have to learn it's own scripting language and secondly for other purpose like using it's api, it is a bit costly.

Powerful, with step-by-step solutions provided for a lot of calculus questions

Occasionally, what is typed may be misinterpreted - there is a need for the software to ask for clarification when it requires it to reduce ambiguity

It’s very easy to test new algorithm ideas with almost instant feedback. Easy to use once you accommodate with the language.

It’s not much not to like about Mathematica... The language is simple and the documentation is very good.

Innovative functional syntax made it easy once you learned it.
Flexible syntax allowed for numerous ways to code the same thing.
Lots of resources to learn.

Learning curve was steep.
It crashed a lot of times on my Windows 10 laptop.
Frustrating run times depending on my connection.

If I was ever in a crunch to get some problems done and had no idea where to begin, Wolfram always had my back and provided me with an example and steps on how to do the problem.

Typing out a mathematical problem on a computer is tedious and difficult. One small error can lead to a drastically different solution.

Wolfram is an excellent software to calculate almost any mathematical problem, with their graphics and more, also can be used from the Internet.

The free version has many restrictions and few tools.

It's like magic. This tool is super powerful and simple to use, just put your formula or anything you want to calculate and ta-dan, you'll get the answer and even the steps needed to get it.

Nothing, I just love it, it makes it easier to calculate hard things in a matter of seconds. The price is also worth it.

It has a wide range of mathematical feature ranging from linear algebra to complex differential calculus. This platform is very easy to use as it is pretty intuitive.

One of the biggest shortcomings of this platform is its failure to identify or point out the error in the code/programming. The cost can be a barrier too.

By using this platform, It is very easy to solve complex mathematical problems . Also It can be used to perform computation and solving statistical problems.

I think the cost of installation is high so it would be much better for a student like me if the cost can be reduced . Also sometime I feel that Mathematica language is slightly harder to understand for me.

This software can be an absolute life-saver for any student learning mathematics. The software solves such a large range of math problems ranging from simple to complex in an instant. It demonstrates step-by-step problem solving which facilitates learning. I used this software throughout my undergraduate education and still use it today.

Like any great software, there can be a slight learning curve in order to get the most out of it. For the simple functions, it is click-and-go. For the most advanced functions, it may take some time to learn.

The nice thing with Mathematica is the fact that it is very artistic and very easy to get publication quality plots

Everyone will agree that Mathematica tends to be slower than other programming languages

It’s UI is one of the most easy to use, even if you don’t understand much of programming

Like many other software of this type it requires for you to mess up before you actually achieve what you want

It has a great symbolic tool box great for solving very complex mathematical equations.

As someone who is used to regular coding languages like c. The coding in mathematica is initially hard to learn.

Mathematica is free. I do not know Matlab and now and then I am asked to do a computation with Matlab. I use Mathematica instead of Matlab and I can say that Mathematica is wonderful. You can make for free very complicated mathematical computations, and if you pay 5 USD you can use the step by step Mathematica language to do very complicated computations. Mathematica is simply amazing. Use Mathematica for free :)

Mathematica has no cons but the Mathematica language can be complicated to learn. Using Matlab is simple, but using Mathematica is very good

It's fast and easy to create math equations and solve them. I have used this software for calculus when I was in college and it was very useful.

None. Very good software.

I cannot even describe how powerful this tool is as I only use it for data visualization. Though to my understanding, it can help in pretty much any industry. From medical imaging, to financial modeling, this tools list of features are seemingly endless.

None to report! I think some may say that it can be tough to learn at first but I found it to be pretty intuitive.

It is awesome regarding symbolic manipulation. I use this software to compute complex integral and differential equations. It produces nice graph output for you to present your result. There are a lot of resources for you to learn how to use it, if you are new.

You can have difficulty learning this software in the beginning. It has a large number of functions, and its syntax is different from those of other languages.

There are so many things that you can do with Mathematica because of the Wolfram foundation. It's completely free-form, so you can use it in whatever way you like and achieve results: from contour plots to simple arithmetic and anything more simple or more complex. There are built-in functions to help you if you make a mistake in your code or if you need help figuring out what to do to achieve your goal.

The tough part is learning all the aspects of the software. The way you have to write your functions and expressions are slightly unconventional to regular maths. And there's no way to know you did something wrong until you've messed up and it prompts you on how to fix it. Sometimes having too many functions is detrimental if there isn't enough support to help the users learn how to start.
