- BMUG Math SIG Meeting at 7 pm on Monday, September 21, 1992
-
- Maple and Mathematica are the two most popular computer algebra
- systems on the market today. Nancy Blachman will share with you
- her experience and her opinions on the strengths and limitations
- of Maple and Mathematica. She will answer questions such as:
- How is Maple similar to Mathematica? In what ways are the
- different? What does Maple offer and who are the primary users
- of Maple? What can Mathematica do and who is using it? How
- should you decide which system to use/purchase?
-
- Nancy Blachman has been using Mathematica for the past four years.
- She is the author of the "Mathematica Quick Reference, Version 2"
- (Addison-Wesley and Variable Symbols, 1992) and the tutorial book
- "Mathematica: A Practical Approach" (Prentice-Hall, 1992). Recently
- she started to use Maple. She is writing the "Maple V Quick Reference",
- a compact guide to Maple V, Release 2.
-
- This presentation will be at the BMUG office at 2055 Center Street
- in Berkeley. The office is near the north west corner of Center Street
- and Shattuck Ave. which is half a block from the Berkeley BART station.
-
- Driving directions:
- Take the University exit off 80.
- Head east on University toward the UC Berkeley campus.
- Turn right at Shattuck (McDonalds will be at the corner.)
- Go 2 blocks.
- Turn right on Center and look for parking.
- I recommend the parking garage on the left, as the one on
- the right closes at 8 pm.
