Experiences with 
 Mathematica


You just never can tell where you might find the influences of Mathematica at work--high in the sky, deep down on the ocean floor, in your favorite shampoo, or even at the local playground. Everywhere you turn, ordinary and extraordinary people are using Mathematica to design innovative products, make groundbreaking discoveries, and sometimes just have some fun.
