Maple and Mathematica: A Problem Solving Approach for Mathematics

By presenting side-by-side comparisons, this handbook enables Mathematica users to quickly learn Maple, and vice versa. The parallel presentation enables students, mathematicians, scientists, and engineers to easily find equivalent functions on each of these algebra programs.

The handbook provides core material for incorporating Maple and Mathematica as working tools into different undergraduate mathematics courses. The programs enhance a broad range of classes, including algebra, geometry, calculus, complex functions, special functions, integral transforms, and mathematical equations.

Part I describes the foundations of both Maple and Mathematica, showing how each one solves equivalent problems and solutions. Part II describes mathematics with Maple and Mathematica by using equivalent problems.
