AI Thread Summary
Matlab excels in numerical computations, while Mathematica is superior for symbolic computations. The choice between the two largely depends on personal programming style and familiarity with the software. Users who are more accustomed to Mathematica often find it enables quicker problem-solving due to their knowledge of its coding environment.

Which is better and why?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There is a lot of overlap in functionality, but I'd say that Matlab is better for numerical computations and Mathematica is better for symbolic computations.
 
Both, it will depend on the style you like to program your code.
Personally I prefer Mathematica over Matlab, but it is just because I am adapted to problem solving with Mathematica and I know more code so I can solve problems faster.
