I was under the impression that the difference between a physicist and a mathematician was that physicists used matlab and mathematicians used maple. Was I far off the mark?
Scientists don't use MATLAB, engineers use MATLAB. Scientists use FORTRAN solvers, and wonder why anyone would ever want to use anything different...
Also, the MATLAB symbolic toolbox uses the Maple engine-- surely there's a joke in there somewhere?

Hello my fellow math geeks. My name is Mike and I am the creator
of Spiked Math Comics, a math comic dedicated to humor, educate
and entertain the geek in you. Beware though, there might be some
math involved :D
That's not a very sage decision....
No worries about the delay.

PhiJ: It depends on the field... I think in numerical studies of Diff.-Eqs. matlab is also widley used...
Mathematica doesn't even get a mention? =(
What about Scilab?
In Matlab we trust!
Matlab for President!
proof by Matlab =)
