F# practical uses

Are there any good examples of math problems that are better solved by F# as opposed to something like C#?

I'm specifically wondering about solving system of equations faster or shortest path analysis over a graph of nodes or something.

I would prefer side-by-side code just for comparison's sake (which is easier to read, etc.) but any insights will do.

Thanks,

Have a look at this link for a good discussion on the basic differences

Here is a link with some side by side code
