## Mathematica Reviews
  ### 1. Mathematica for Dynamical Systems

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Mathematica?**

The functionality and equations are pretty simple to use.

**What do you dislike about Mathematica?**

Keeps crashing and no autosave feature, even though you "compile" your code like a regular programming language. I just lost 3 hours of work because my computer crashed while running it.

**What problems is Mathematica solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm using it to solve various differential equations and using the matrix algebra features. The matrix algebra features are very useful, and you can use as many constants as you want.

  ### 2. I really like to use mathematica in order to create functions.

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2017

**What do you like best about Mathematica?**

What I like most is its console mode as it allows me to define my problems quickly.

**What do you dislike about Mathematica?**

Sometimes it is difficult to handle due to its simplicity.

**What problems is Mathematica solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I usually use it to solve maximation problems.
