I find Mathematica better with lists, matrices, vectors. I find Maple better when writing nested loops, the syntax is easier. In maple you would write "for i from 1 to 10 do print(i) end do;" It's easy to put a while statement inside that. In mathematica you have to write "For[i=1,i<4,i++, Print[i]]" which gets complicated when nesting one inside another. A least for someone as bad at programming as me. Gary McGuire
