 Many modern physics problems can be reduced to carrying out both numerical and symbolical calculations. Over the last 16 years, Mathematica has acquired a large body of algorithmic, numeric, symbolic, and special function “knowledge.” With a proper approach, Mathematica can be used very successfully to solve a large variety of research‐level physics problems, including larger numerical ones that only a few years ago were only solvable on large supercomputers. The four-volume Mathematica GuideBooks contain a collection of these type of examples. A selection of these examples, how to approach them within Mathematica, and how a Mathematica approach is different from a classical “paper and pencil” or procedural programming approach are discussed.
