Default Re: Mathematica= the nuts

you ain't gonna prototype signal processing algorithms in mathematica. I'm sure you could to prove a point, but mathematica is not designed for that. You don't do much algebra in engineering, so what use is a computer algebra suite?

I totally had to do this for a project. Granted we used Matlab mostly in that class, but we had to use Mathematica as well. It was a math/cs combo class (something like infinite math on a finite machine) and we did signal processing, image processing, and other similar projects in both matlab and mathematica. I stand by the statement that mathematica can do pretty much anything matlab can do. I had two professors I took classes with, one wrote the definitive book on Matlab and the other for Mathematica, and Mathematica 'can' do pretty much anything Matlab can do, though some things are mcuh easier to implement in Matlab.
