238:, the references to matlab and fortran are not that relevant either. But I don't like your argument that since the mathematica link is just as relevant as the matlab one, then since the matlab link is in, therefore the mathematica link must be in also. That paragraph was just mentioning a few implementations. It does not (and should not) be absolutely fair to and representative of all programming languages out there. 151:
There seems to be some misunderstanding of the categorization of Mathematica as a Computer Algebra System. Wolfram has never described it as such, and while it does include computer algebra capabilities, to describe it as less of a numerical analysis package than Matlab and IDL which

Your links to mathematica and Wolfram are not always very relevant, or not so helpful. It appears to me in some places you put them just because you could. I removed a bunch I thought were not so useful, and kept some which I thought belonged there (like the link in
