A couple of comments. First, if I could do "only" half the problems in mathematics, which is probably an infinite number, I would be happy indeed! Second, the implication is that your learned friend actually knows all the mathematics there is so that he can be assured of his facts. I use Mathematica almost exclusively for mathematical physics and data analysis,and have yet to find a circumstance where it isn't up to the task, and, for that matter, cannot foresee where it will fail. Admittedly, I am interested in far less than "all" of mathematics, but it is good for me.
