"The first book to compare the two computer algebra systems, Maple and Mathematica used by students, mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. Both systems are presented in parallel so that Mathematica's users can learn Maple quickly by finding the Maple equivalent to Mathematica functions, and vice versa. This student reference handbook consists of core material for incorporating Maple and Mathematica as a working tool into different undergraduate mathematical courses (algebra, geometry, calculus, complex functions, special functions, integral transforms, mathematical equations). The book also contains applications from various areas of mathematics and physics and can be useful for graduate students, professors, and researchers in the sciences and engineering. One of the goals of this book is to develop problem-solving skills that are most useful for solving sophisticated research problems." "Part I describes the foundations of Maple and Mathematica (with equivalent problems and solutions). Part II describes Mathematics with Maple and Mathematica by using equivalent problems."--Jacket.
