User Story
"Groundwater recharge-discharge is a very complex system, and usually we need years of study in order to get the results we are getting from Mathematica in a matter of days."
—Yu-Feng Lin
Hydrogeologist, Illinois State Water Survey
"To be able to use symbolic computation along with numerics, along with this incredible graphics capability and now with the dynamic possibilities to program things, I think this is something I don't want to miss because it makes my teaching life also much, much easier."
—Frank Scherbaum
Geophysics Professor, University of Potsdam
