- G'day all math netters,
-
- Would really appreciate on any information regarding the strengths
- and weaknesses of two very popular symbolic math packages - Maple
- and Mathematica. I'm not too sure which to go for but as far as the
- brochures are concerned , both seems to be pretty impressive.
-
- Basically :
-
- I'm looking for something which provides an extensive repertoire (sp?)
- of well known functions and algos. Ie, comes with numerous math packages
- for linear algebra, matrix manipulation and inversion , complex number,
- non-linear as well as linear optimizations - you know - stuffs like that
-
- Basically - I'm sick and tired of programming in Fortran with NAG . Also
- running out of cash to upkeep NAG annually. Would like a math package that
- have functions equivalent or similar to NAG routines so that I can chuck
- Fortran and Nag away. I can use both UNIX and DOS based Windows 3.1
- environments.
-
- Is there anyone out there whose used both and can answer my queries ?
-
- Better still, if there is an FTp site where I can get comprehensive infos
- on these two packages , please do tell me about it too ! Here's how to
- contact me :
