Maple is one of the most commonly used mathematical and engineering calculation software in the world, and enjoys a high reputation in the fields of mathematics and science, and is known as "mathematician's software". Maple has millions of users all over the world and is widely used in science, engineering and education. Users have penetrated more than 96% of major universities and research institutes around the world, and more than 865,438+0% of Fortune 500 enterprises. Maple system has built-in advanced technologies to solve mathematical problems in modeling and simulation, including the world's most powerful symbolic calculation, infinite precision numerical calculation, innovative Internet connection, powerful 4GL language, etc. It has built-in more than 5,000 calculation commands, and its mathematical and analytical functions cover almost all branches of mathematics, such as calculus, differential equations, special functions, linear algebra, image and sound processing, statistics, dynamic systems, etc. Maple not only provides programming tools, but also provides mathematical knowledge. Maple is a necessary scientific computing tool for professors, researchers, scientists, engineers and students. From simple numerical calculation to highly complex nonlinear problems, Maple can help you solve problems quickly and efficiently. Through Maple products, users can complete multi-domain physical system modeling and simulation, symbolic calculation, numerical calculation, program design, technical documents, report demonstration, algorithm development, external program connection and other functions in a single environment, meeting the needs of users at all levels from high school students to senior researchers. The main technical feature of Maple is 1. Powerful solver: the leader of mathematical and analytical software II. Technical document environment: redefining the availability of mathematics 3. Knowledge capture: not only a tool, but also knowledge 4. MATLAB, the abbreviation of Matrix Laboratory, is a commercial mathematical software produced by MathWorks Company in the United States. Advanced technologies used in algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis and numerical calculation include MATLAB and Simulink. The basic functions MATLAB, Mathematica and Maple are also called the three major mathematical softwares. It is second to none in numerical calculation in mathematical science and technology application software. Matlab can perform matrix operations, draw functions and data, realize algorithms, create user interfaces, and connect the working interfaces of MATLAB with other programming languages. It is mainly used in engineering calculation, control design, signal processing and communication, image processing, signal detection, financial modeling design and analysis. The basic data unit of MATLAB is matrix, and its instruction expression is very similar to that commonly used in mathematics and engineering. Therefore, it is much simpler to solve problems with MATLAB than to do the same thing with C, FORTRAN and other languages, and mathwork also absorbs the advantages of Maple and other software, making MATLAB a powerful mathematical software. Support for C, FORTRAN, C++ and JAVA has also been added in the new version. It can be called directly, and users can also import their own utility programs into MATLAB function library to facilitate their later call. In addition, many MATLAB enthusiasts have written some classic programs that users can download and use directly. Advantages (1) Friendly working platform and programming environment (2) Easy-to-use programming language (3) Powerful scientific computer data processing ability (5) Widely used module collection toolbox (6) Practical programming interface and publishing platform (7) Application software development (including user interface).
