Maple overview

Maple is the ultimate productivity tool for solving mathematical problems and creating interactive technical applications.

Intuitive and easy to use, it delivers the most advanced, complete, reliable mathematical capabilities that can only come from a market-leading tool that has been developed and tested over 25 years.

Maple allows you to create rich, executable technical documents that provide both the answer and the thinking behind the analysis. Maple documents seamlessly combine numeric and symbolic calculations, explorations, mathematical notation, documentation, buttons and sliders, graphics, and animations that can be shared and reused by your colleagues.

I only commented before but now I'm reviewing. I've had the misfortune of using maple 12 due to some legacy files and I'm actually shocked. The interface simply doesn't work. There is no undo! And apparently matrices no longer obey A+B = B+A (I did check element by element). If I need help then clicking on the help menu works maybe 50% of the time, and when it does it takes at least 20 seconds to appear. This is the biggest load of **** I've used in a long time. You have two reasonable options: a) Use SAGE. (see my reviews) b) Use Mathematica if you don't mind the cost. It may be as ugly as sin but at least it works.

Maple 12 is even worse than the previous versions. Very slow on a Mac G5 2GB DRAM; basically unusable. Terrible interface and terrible documentation. Stay away from it if you can. Mathematica is better, but it also affected by the bloated software syndrome. Consider using the open-source SAGE package for serious work; it is getting better by the day.

I'm not sure about one star; Maple's works well enough for me for a while. It's interface is a bit crappy. It looks nice and clean on the surface, but just try to copy and paste stuff! Anyway, I prefer SAGE. It's a relative newcomer, but it's extremely good and free! It's development has been extraordinary. Amongst it's benefits are that it uses a web browser for the interface (and it even typesets better than Maple), it allows easy collaborative use, it comes as a nice compiled package that you just drag and drop (no installer) and it incorporates Python, so you can actually program properly in it. You can even use stereoscopic glasses to view 3D plots in 3D! http://www.sagemath.org/
