Maple, Mathematica, computer algebra systems
In this book we consider the two general purpose computer algebra systems, Maple and Mathematica which appeared around 1988; today both being the most popular, powerful, and reliable systems that are viii Preface used worldwide by students, mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. It is not, however, our intention to prove or assert that either Maple or Mathematica, is better than the other. Following our experience in working with these two computer algebra systems, we have structured this book in presenting and work in parallel in both systems. We note that Mathematica’s users can learn Maple quickly by finding the Maple equivalent to Mathematica functions, and vice versa. Additionally, in many research problems it is often required to make independent work and compare the results obtained using the two computer algebra systems, Maple and Mathematica.
