Performing computation with the support of programming languages was always been a focus for all mathematicians and statistician. Whereas to perform it efficiently it heavily depends on the scope of the problem. We have a large variety of tools and languages to analyze and compute data. So let us discuss the most widely used languages. 

1. Maple : 
A Maple is a software tool that is used to perform mathematical calculations, which includes numeric and symbolic computations. This serves as the best tool for 2D image processing. It uses a strong algebraic system to compute built-in Maple libraries. 

Some features of Maple : 

  • It makes use of Matrix manipulation tools along with sparse arrays.
  • It has a wide range of special mathematical libraries.
  • It provides support for symbolic tensor functions.
  • Provides arithmetic support for limit based calculations.

2. Mathematica : 
Mathematica is a universal natural language that can be used for any programming structure. The term Mathematica means ‘subject of instructions’ which helps you solve a particular problem. Here the program is written in basic mathematics and is used to perform complex queries. This tool is not an open-source model that can be used for everyone. 

Some features of Mathematica: 

  • It is cost-effective.
  • Mathematica is heavily used in academics.
  • Helps you to solve complex problems in seconds.
  • There is no alternative for Mathematica but it is universal for every language.

Difference between Maple and Mathematica : 
 

S.No. Maple Mathematica
1. Maple is a tool used for mathematics and engineering fields. Mathematica is an universal tool that helps you to solve computational any problem.
2. Maple is supported with 50 Probability distribution and 17 random processes for computations. Mathematica is supported with 190 Probability distribution and 35 random processes for computations.
3. It supports 2-D image processing. It supports 2-D and 3-D image processing.
4. It does not provide real-time video stream read capability. It provides real-time video stream read capability.
5. Its facilities for code generation are in C, C#, Fortran, Java, Python, Perl and Visual Basic. Its facilities for code generation are only in C.
6. Maple does not allow you to edit documents during any computation. Mathematica allows you to edit documents while computing.
7. Directed graph can be used in Maple. Directed graphs can be used and merged into edges in Mathematica.
8. Can link to machine learning in Python Includes supervised and unsupervised machine learning for images, video and data
