"We use Mathematica in teaching math
modeling, the entire calculus sequence, linear algebra, differential
equations, and numerical analysis. We have found that once students
use Mathematica in a course, they will naturally and
independently use it in subsequent courses. It provides the student
with a powerful and versatile investigative tool."

"My connection with Mathematica is long-standing as I have been
onboard since it was first produced and have used it for some time in
my own research work. Now I am writing a book that
uses Mathematica as a means of introducing students to problems
of chemical engineering analysis.
"I see Mathematica as providing for a real acceleration of the
pedagogy in this field. Rather than having endless debates regarding
how best to integrate computing into the undergraduate curriculum, it
is my contention that we settle the debate by moving rapidly in the
direction of using Mathematica throughout the curriculum."

"I use Mathematica in classes for Kinematics and Dynamics of
Machines and for Vibrations and Rotodynamics. For the first time
students are able to analyze and animate complex
mechanisms. Mathematica is, in fact, a virtual lab in which
students are able to change any system parameter and immediately see
its effect."

"Lake Forest College has been using Mathematica for the past
several years with the support of several grants from the National
Science Foundation. I have also been using Mathematica more and
more as a presentation tool in all my teaching, as well as in seminar
presentation. Presentation notebooks are also stored on the
mathematics department network for later use by interested students."

"Our Mathematica courseware brings mathematics to life for our
students. It is such a pleasure to see our students plotting,
calculating, smiling, and learning. And using it is easier than using
a calculator."

"Mathematica is great, and well used around here. My graduate
students all use it as well."

"Carnegie Mellon Research Institute is continually engaged in the
development of novel devices and processes for industry and government.
Mathematica is an important tool for modeling new concepts before
undertaking the expense of building hardware prototypes. System
parameters can be optimized in the Mathematica model so that the first
hardware implementation can be much closer to final design."

"I was very pleased with the opportunity to examine Mathematica. It is a
superb mathematical program. My colleagues in the Division of Engineering
and in the Department of Physics have known Mathematica for many years
and have a high opinion of it."

"Mathematica is a delight to use, and of enormous help in my work. I'm
still only ramping up to explore all its strengths."

"Of all the mathematical software that I have, I have found Mathematica
to be the most useful both for teaching (primarily applied
mathematics in engineering) and in my research on theoretical plasma
physics."

"My students and I use Mathematica frequently in our research
in experimental gravitation. We are engaged in precise tests of the
Principle of Equivalence and in making a precise measurement of the
Newtonian gravitational constant. We frequently
use Mathematica's ability to provide analytic integrals that
allow us to compute efficiently and accurately the gravitational
effects of complicated mass distributions.... I find
that students are eager to learn Mathematica and once they are
familiar with it use it on a wide variety of problems."

"At this location we teach physics and do research in particle physics
and the technology that supports it. That means that we have
everything from data analysis and graphical displays thereof to
engineering calculations in electrical and mechanical engineering to
rather high-blown theoretical analysis. The great thing
about Mathematica is that it can cover all these bases without
balking, which is something that no other computing system can fully
do. The ability to work with differential equations and almost all of
the special functions makes it particularly attractive for us."
