Quite the contrary.  Mathematica is very good for symbolic manipulation,
and it does pretty well with numeric stuff as well.  It also has tons of
add on packages, and a generalized functional language for writing new
applications and routines.  Additionally, it has methods of interfacing
with other languages like C and programs using MathLink such as Excel.
