About 95% of Maple's functionality is written in the Maple programming language, and every Maple user can freely inspect the source code for any of these predefined Maple library routines. Mathematica has code generation for C and Fortran, and in many cases, the results cannot be used immediately because they are not standard code. Maple offers code generation for over 10 different languages. In contrast, Mathematica requires you to build such applications programmatically using the GUIKit package. Maple lets you build applications by dragging and dropping interface elements, such as buttons and sliders, and then using menus to customize their properties. Mathematica typically encourages a functional programming approach, which most people find significantly harder to write, read, and debug. Maple provides a procedural programming language that will be very familiar to users of C, Java, and other procedural languages. Mathematica has nothing like these step-by-step tutors. Students can solve problems on their own step-by-step, and Maple will provide a hint or the next step when asked, so students can practice and learn. Maple includes interactive tutors for integration, differentiation, finding limits, and more. Mathematica uses a proprietary numeric model, not the international standard, and the details are not published. Maple's numerical model is derived from the IEEE/754 floating point standard, the accepted standard in the computer hardware and software industry. Maple is the world's fastest symbolic computation engine. Maple is the uncontested leader for computing symbolic solutions to differential equations. Maple's formatting follows textbook standards. You must press + to perform the computation. Enter vs Shift-Enter: In Maple, you press to tell Maple to perform the computation.Compare examples of expressions entered using the default settings in both systems: Maple uses standard mathematical notation.
