Maple ???
 

What is the deal with maple.
At uni I have to use it for some course of mine.
It is so annoying to use. And plus they expect us to do assessments on it and it ain't available to us as it isn't cheap apparently, so why should we have to do tests on something we can only use at uni.
Whats so special about it anyway.

Thats what I first said when I was told in the lecture that it was going to be used.

Guess there math isn't as good as they would like to believe.

ROFL.

You'd think they would be able to keep track of time. Oh well, I am also using another program as well called 'R'

Haven't tried it yet but its shareware so I hope it is good.

I recall having used Maple and Matlab during my studies.. but I've hastily forgotten pretty much everything. Thank god.

i'm currently learning matlab and used mathematica the last semesters at university. for mathematica there are relatively cheap student licences available.

there's some sort of "believe war" between mathematica and maple I guess ... but you gotta get used to each system, which needs a lot of work.

Joy...
Oh well it seems easy to use, just lots of ; and ()
Fairly advanced stuff, hehe;
