Most of the comparisons (that I've seen so far) amongst Maple, Matlab, and Mathematica are either incomplete, inaccurate, or biased.

Do an internal Mapleprimes Search for the word convex. Some of the pages with "convex" in their title are included in the results (which is fine). But some of the...

This sites needs better rendering of 2D Math.

Here is a sample from the Wikipedia page for Maplesoft, from the pdes example section. The image on Wikipedia is quite nice (it's alt-tags have LaTeX code, which may be a hint).

The welcome to the new Version 2 of Mapleprimes was announced on May 27, 2010.
