[Chicago] Has anyone used Maple?

[Lewit, Douglas]

Hi Sheila,

I've used Sympy.  It is impressive, but still can't compete with Maple and
Mathematica when it comes to serious high-level computer algebra.  Matlab
seems to be the software of choice with most engineers, although I've found
that when it comes to plotting Matplotlib can do pretty much whatever
Matlab can do.  But in the area of computer algebra I still have to cast my
vote with Maple and Mathematica, but especially Maple.  (Maple is also
Canadian software, and Canada is one of my favorite countries!  I don't
mind spending some money on top quality commercial software that comes out
of Canada.)
