David DeBrota's use of Mathematica provides huge savings in dollars and hours in the drug trial process for a large U.S. pharmaceutical company.

DeBrota created programs to narrow down potential treatments so that developers don't have to spend months of research in costly clinical trials. Mathematica's speed provides accurate solutions to several questions at once with just one line of code.

"Mathematica is the fastest and most accurate program I've used," says DeBrota. "It's the ultimate intellectual Swiss Army Knife."
