Pros The people at Wolfram are some of the sharpest around, they are near the University of Illinois where the internet browser was invented and this application is very useful and user friendly. Cons Some features aren't available even though I think they should be but I suppose that it's a work in progress and they are always trying to improve it. Review Source DN Dennis N. Software Engineer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Reliable but extremely hard to use piece of software." April 26, 2018 4.0 Pros Its offering a huge amount of equations and formulas that are predefined, and you only need to know what you want, other than that i like the shortcuts that are common and mostly known. Cons I don't like that you can't use it right away even with a high level knowledge in the field of Mathematica, its complex and the tools are listed in some hidden in three level menus . Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amazing" December 18, 2019 5.0 We used it for some time in the research and development sector of the company, but the sector was deactivated this year. Pros Wolfram tools look like magic, and are often very easy to use even for users who have little experience with these tools. Cons In ours is a little expensive, because our company is in Latin America and depends on the price of the dollar. Review Source DH David H. Network Administrator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great way to solve equations!" March 30, 2021 5.0 I have used this many times while learning calculus. Mathematica will solve the equations instantly. It helped me to understand how to manipulate certain equations so that I could get better at solving them. There is also an Android and iOS app for it that has the same functions. Very valuable to any math student. Pros This will break down any equation, solve it, and show you all the steps. Cons Entering the equations can be tricky if you're not familiar with how to do it. Review Source PS Pawan S. Self Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Very versatile (desktop version)" February 13, 2021 5.0 Pros This software helped me get my bachelor’s degree in mathematics... I used it to solve a differential equation that got me an A in the class. The prof was happily impressed with how I used the tool to solve the problem. It was a simple problem, in retrospect: a block of salt in a water tank with fish and bacteria. The optimal flow that saved the fish but killed the bacteria was the “solution” - pun totally intended!!! Cons It’s been a while since I last used the software; suffice it to say that it left a good taste in my mouth, so to speak.

Electrical Engineer Defense & Space Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Because of Direct Tie to Wolfram" December 3, 2020 5.0 I will stick with matlab, it is overall much more easy to use. Pros The general use of the software shares similarity to python and matlab. However, the syntax does differ. Because it is tied to wolfram alpha, and there are so many resources available it makes it easier to get stuff done. Also, since it is based on normal mathematical equations, unlike the matrix desgin of matlab. The programming is on the more straight forward side. Cons Sometimes has clunky syntax issues, and this can prevent clarity in writing the equations. It also, runs much heavier than matlab does. Review Source RC Rafael C. Industrial Engineer Medical Devices Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Wolfram Mathematica user review " June 6, 2019 5.0 Solve almost every mathematical problem that I try to.
