The recent resurgence of interest in neural networks has its roots in the recognition that the brain performs computations in a different manner than do conventional digital computers. Computers are extremely fast and precise at executing sequences of instructions that have been formulated for them. A human information processing system is composed...
This book compares the two computer algebra programs, Maple and Mathematica used by students, mathematicians, scientists, and engineers.
Structured by presenting both systems in parallel, Mathematicas users can learn Maple quickly by finding the Maple equivalent to Mathematica functions, and vice versa.
Turn back the clock to 1986. One of the authors had an audience with a then education editor of the New York Times as part of a larger effort to kindle media interest in a study this researcher had just launched on college boards of trustees.
