...Mathematica 5 can solve systems of one million linear
equations in one million variables. A unique implementation of
high-speed sparse linear algebra in Version 5 is efficient for
operations on arrays of any dimension or rank...
http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/newin5/performance/sparselinear.html

...you can now solve Diophantine equations in Mathematica 5. The
function Reduce lets you solve equations using different domain
specifications, enabling it to handle equations over integers as
well as over real and complex variables...
http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/newin5/symbolic/reduce.html

...with the addition of new graphic, web, and matrix file formats
in Version 5, including SVG, PNG, sparse matrix, and the medical
DICOM standard, Mathematica now supports over 40 import/export
options...
