Default Re: Mathematica= the nuts

[ QUOTE ]
i agree that matlab pwns.

what about maple? the newest version (11, i think) is pretty good.

i use a combo of maple and matlab depending on what i want to get done. i say matlab > maple >> mathematica.

They do completely different things. Mathematica was great for my theoretical math classes, while matlab was great for my practical math classes. They both have programming functionality, but the upper hand goes to Mathematica for making things look pretty and for graphing. I wrote several math papers in Mathematica, and gave a presentation in Mathematica, which I couldn't do in Matlab. Never used maple.
