RC Roberto C. Knowledge Transfer Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/16/2023 "Development environment suitable for any kind of technical software" 4/5 What do you like best about Mathematica? The best feature is that it has tools for almost any need when dealing with data analytics, algorithms, calculations, and mathematical model. Of course, there are dozen of other features considering specific areas of action. For instance, the number of symbolic algorithms able to solve even complex tasks, the full integration of numeric and symbolic calculation, the external data source with trillions of data about entities, and last but not least the many customizations of the front end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mathematica? Sometimes version after version the backward compatibility of the code syntax is lost or doesn't guarantee the complete compatibility of old notebooks. Another dislike is related to the experimental features that sometimes anticipate future functionalities but are not documented enough. From the performance point of view, another issue is related to some fields of application, where Mathematica even providing specific functionalities, doesn't perform in a way compatible with the productivity of industries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mathematica solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Mathematica for many different problems, from very heterogeneous applications. Most of the time, I use Mathematica to develop applications deploying technical calculation solutions. The most important feature I exploit is the Mathematica capability to afford all aspects of a software application. It can deal with data entry, data pre-processing, and data repository organization, can deal with any kind of data analytics, and can deal with data representation, from the graphical point of view and automatic report point of view. Finally, using Mathematica and other Wolfram technologies, it is possible to implement the deployment of the application, both in a desktop or stand-alone manner or using the Wolfram Cloud platform.

Diseñador TIC Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/17/2023 "Wolfram Mathematica: Excellent application for mathematical calculations and analysis." 4/5 What do you like best about Mathematica? Its intuitive interface and the wide range of mathematical calculation and analysis options it offers. Its integrated programming language has allowed students and professors to perform complex calculations and even custom algorithms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mathematica? Some operations in Wolfram Mathematica require significant hardware capabilities, making it challenging for students with less powerful equipment. Some of its functions also need internet access, limiting its local use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mathematica solving and how is that benefiting you? The most significant advantage of using Wolfram Mathematica in university is its extensive range of mathematical operations and functions, including symbolic, numerical, and graphical calculations and algebra, differential calculus, differential equations, statistics, and more. It is a versatile tool for students, professionals, and researchers in various disciplines. It is a software professors use in departments such as Economics, Engineering, and Applied Sciences.

Mathematica 11.3 was the last version I used, and I loved a few things about it. First, I loved how easy it was to use and how I could format equations to look like they were written and not have them all in one line with many parentheses (like when using spreadsheets). Second, I like that I can solve multiple formulas at once. Finally, I loved the feature where the user could type a certain equal sign which, after it calculates the solution it shows you how to solve it step-by-step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mathematica? Some program languages and software read from top to bottom and will rewrite the value of a variable if it changes at a lower line; Mathematica kind of doesn't do this. In Mathematica, every "line" can have multiple variables, functions, and formulas and solve multiple things simultaneously - I don't fully recommend this Mathematica will take longer to find the solution. The answers are then printed on a new "line," and an additional input line is created. So now, you typed the variables and functions on one "line", then solved them on another. The solutions are displayed, and a new input line is created. On the input line, you use the same variables but perhaps different functions; again, you solve them on a new line. If you go up a "line" or two back to the first functions you solved for Mathematica will use the values of the variables that were used the second time (the line below it). This is why at the end of every solve "line," I use the clear or erase function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mathematica solving and how is that benefiting you? (The purpose that I used Mathematica was not for Simulation and CAE - Though I wish I was taught that - I used it for Math and Physics, but these weren't options.) As I said, version 11.3 of Mathematica was the last one I used, and that was back before 2019. In the section of dislikes I had for Mathematica, I expressed my annoyance with the software; if those things can be/have been corrected, that would be great.

One of the main features of Mathematica is the ability to deal with everything. You can do from a simple graph to the most complex integrate you could imagine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mathematica? The only bad thing I think Mathematica has is the lenguage and the way you have to input the commands and evaluate them, sometimes it is not easy to know where have you made the mistake programming because of an ambiguos answer by the programm.

Substitute Teacher Primary/Secondary Education Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 4/25/2018 "Excellent for showing demonstrations and graphs in Physics" 4/5 What do you like best about Mathematica? This is a great tool to demonstrate Physics concepts in a high school classroom setting and I think students respond well to seeing a graph come alive before their eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mathematica? This can be a little tricky to maneuver and that honestly is a reason that I can't ask students to do assignments from this because the learning curve is so great. I wish it was a little more intuitive to learn because students who plan to continue in Physics would learn this invaluable skill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mathematica solving and how is that benefiting you? Mathematica is a powerful tool and it can easily be manipulated to show various examples. This greatly benefits me because in a flash of an eye, I can show students an answer to their problem with the touch of a button (okay, like 3 buttons). For example, if I graph the function of velocity over a specific period of time, students can easily extrapolate data. If someone asks what happens to the graph if the velocity decreases or some other external factors are changed, I can easily type in the changes and complete an analysis with the students.
