One's an adjective and the other's a noun.
That's one difference. What does the dictionary say?

NOT A TEACHER.

"Problematic" can also be a noun. Unlike in, say, French (problématique) and German (Problematik), the use of "problematic" as a noun is rare in English.

Ucef,


(1) I was reminded of your post while reading my newspaper this

morning.

(2) Here is the headline from the business section of the Los Angeles

Times, January 14, 2011:

Plenty of 'Hornet' buzz; 'Dilemma' is problematic


In plain English: A lot of people are talking about the new

movie "The Green Hornet," but not so many people are

talking about the new movie "The Dilemma."

The article says that this weekend, maybe "Hornet" will

sell $50 million dollars worth of tickets in the United States and

Canada, but "Dilemma" may sell only $20 million. That's why

the prospects (hopes) for "Dilemma" are problematic.

NOTE: The hopes for "Dilemma" are problematic at this moment,

but sometimes a movie suddenly becomes popular and makes a

lot of money. The article says that the producers of "Dilemma"

remember that another movie called "It's Complicated" started

with $22 million in sales, but it eventually made $112 million!!!
