What Users Are Saying about Mathematica

Economists and finance professionals are finding Mathematica's capabilities to be especially useful in their work. Here's what some of them have to say about Mathematica.

"The new assumptions technology in [Mathematica] is just the ticket for economic and financial modeling. Now we can assume, say, price and quantity to be positive and set up parameters just the way we want them. Even working with the most complicated distributions, one now gets out beautiful textbook-style answers." Dr. Colin Rose, Director, Theoretical Research Institute "I knew that Mathematica has tons of built-in features besides matrices--graph-theoretic, combinatorial, statistical, and financial features for instance--as standard or as add-on packages, but I did not connect it with 'serious' number crunching. The new version of Mathematica... blows away such stereotyping with its OR-related features." ManMohan S. Sodhi, OR/MS Today

"I'm thrilled to see the huge speed increases in [Mathematica's] numerical performance! It confirms Mathematica's place on the list of tools that any serious researcher just has to have." Dr. Daniel Egloff, Senior Financial Engineer, CSK Financial Risk Services and Solutions "Mathematica's programmable graphics are the best of the breed. No other product comes close to the features, capabilities, and sophistication of Mathematica." Jack Yurkiewicz, Professor of Management Science and Statistics, Pace University "Mathematica is a great math tool, programming language, word processing system, graphics engine, and statistical program all wrapped into one--it's everything you could ever need!" Jon S. Davis, Associate Professor, College of Business, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
