Maple Reader for MWS

How does one read a Maple Worksheet (MWS)?

  1. It takes a while, to find this. However, the answer is negative. You cannot read Maple Notebooks plain. As this page, plainly states.
  2. However, as shown in this post. You can view a Maple Notebook, online, from MaplePrimes. Online viewing with printing is not supported from Wolfram.
  3. If you want the PDF, of my notebook? Some are on Scribd, too. Although, for the moment, I don't have too many there.
  4. For example, my demonstration of a Quadratic Notebook.
  5. What does the competition have? Wolfram Demonstrations Project
  6. ?
  7. However, there are several problems with Mathematica. Licensing and super expensive to start and isn't top notch in everything, either. (Maybe close? But - so what.)
  8. Check out - MacSlash. If you perform, a minor upgrade on your OS. Maplesoft won't bump you. Mathematica will say, "sorry, you're no longer registered." Like you did something illegal.
  9. The whole point of the Mathematica Reader with Wolfram is? When your "only paid" for a yearly subscription / ie, purchased the program - expires. Your "once, I loved it" program turns into just a pathetic Reader.
  10. So, now you see, why I am a Maple fan. Even if, it isn't as Functional-program code savvy as Mathematica. Maple is powerful, too. Which, seems to be a key point, everyone overlooks.
