For example, some of the <A href="http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/compare-mathematica/files/ComparisonOfNumericalPerformance.pdf" target="_self">performace benchmarks</A> seem outrageous in their contrast.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>In response, Maplesoft has published <A href="http://www.maplesoft.com/compare/mathematica_analysis/results.aspx" target="_self">an analysis</A>, showing that in fact their product Maple is actually superior and that the Wolfram tests were highly biased.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I don't used either product (Mathematica or Maple) so I have no way of judging all this. If anyone here is familiar with these product, feel free to chip in.</P> Tue, 09 Oct 2012 22:32:49 GMT https://ni.lithium.com/t5/BreakPoint/The-Mathematica-Maple-slugfest/m-p/2181638#M21136 altenbach 2012-10-09T22:32:49Z https://ni.lithium.com/t5/BreakPoint/The-Mathematica-Maple-slugfest/m-p/2181660#M21137 <P>This is like this thread all over again:</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><A href="http://forums.ni.com/t5/BreakPoint/Value-of-Side-by-Side-Comparisons/td-p/1745758" target="_blank">http://forums.ni.com/t5/BreakPoint/Value-of-Side-by-Side-Comparisons/td-p/1745758</A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>My feeling is the same, ask the Wolfram folks about Mathematica, ask the Maplesoft folks about Maple and draw your own conclusions.&nbsp; This is no different than expecting the Honda dealer to give you valid information about a Toyota.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Typically I respect the folks at Wolfram, a bit disappointed that they resorted to this.</P> Tue, 09 Oct 2012 22:56:17 GMT https://ni.lithium.com/t5/BreakPoint/The-Mathematica-Maple-slugfest/m-p/2181660#M21137 Darin.K 2012-10-09T22:56:17Z
