Eh, the simplified version is:
- Engineers (like electrical etc) use Matlab
- Statisticians use R
- Rich people sometimes use Mathematica
- People with some CS background use Python/numpy/sklearn
For "purer" math, like symbolic differentiation and such, I don't really know any of those people, but I think Mathematica has a lot in that area. The others have stuff, but less developed. But pretty much every major language has linear algebra at this point.
