Pros As someone who isn't very skilled in the higher levels of mathematic equations, Wolfram allows me to solve things with ease and often the examples shown help teach me how to do it myself in the future. Cons On occasion I will struggle with an equation, but usually, that is due to some inaccuracies in how it is written as opposed to how Wolfram works. Review Source EU Eric U. Student Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall wolfram is good and a great learning tool. Ithas the best visual aids." March 6, 2018 4.0 Pros The ability to change variables and see how it effects the graph is a lot of help when trying to understand a function and how the vdidderent variables change the graph. Also just seeing a accurate representation of a equation in a graph, whether it's 2 dimension or 3 dimension, makes learning the material much easier. Cons A moajor con for me was the inability to get wolfram to work properly. Every time I needed to open something on wolfram I would have to manually open it with wolfram instead of just clicking on the display and having wolfram open it automatically. I would do this every time and was very annoying after the first 10 times. I don't know if wolfram doesn't work well with Macs or maybe it's older Macs. Nobody could get it to work properly and I'm still stuck doing it the long way. Review Source JFQ Jose F. Q.
