Mathematica 9 adds major extensions and integration across the system. Probability and statistics adds survival and reliability analysis as well as a unified treatment for all random processes. Graphs and networks adds network flows, social network analysis, and major performance enhancements. Control systems adds PID autotuning as well as full support for descriptor and delay systems. Numerical differential equations now includes hybrid systems and parametric systems, as well as advanced support for differential algebraic equations.
