Do not be upset.
This comparison is not fair in some sense. You can not compare symbolic
and numeric tools. It is the same as somebody compares
Microsoft Word and Borland C++ from the "word processing" point
of view :-) Of course MS Word will win, although it can not be used]
to compile C++ programs :-)
The same here in this report. It reviews abilities for DATA
analysis. Of course specialized system (targeted specifically for this
purpose) will win, although it is useless from the formula manipulation
point of view.
Best,
Eugene

I did not look at the newest comparisons, but on older ones. This
comparison is designed mainly (heavily) for statistical and numerical
applications and Maple has only some statistical functions implemented
and the numerical code is not so fast. May-be the last point will be
better in Release 6. If the comparison would depend for example on the
solving of differential equations, the result surely would be different.
With regards

Hi Jose.
Don't be disappointed! The paper seems to make a comparison from a data
analysis point of view; this is definitively not Maples focus! For me Maple
is an environment which enables me to handle all my symbolic problems. As
to numeric problems I use Maple as a "rapid prototyper" only for moderate
data sizes. For all these tasks Maple is a great tool! For data
analysis/visualization in statistics -maybe- there are better tools.
Regards
W.Werner

I do not notice the word "symbolic" in their title.
Instead, they tested mostly numerical math. Not the
purpose of Maple. But it is said that Maple 6 has improved
numerical capabilities.

Speaking as one person, I started with Maple because it was cheap and was
programmed for my (then) computer - an Amiga. I have switched computers but
stayed with Maple. The main complaint that you will find in such comparisons
is speed. If speed is not a significant criterion for you, then keep maple
in your list from which to choose. The only one with comparable use
world-wide is Mathematica. I also have Mathcad which has Maple as its root.
