Maple was used by Mathematica? for the core of its symbolic computations But
being pro-Canadian never switched over. We used to get Maple to
Regarding the toolchain:
I can't help but wonder how difficult it would be to switch from Maple to Sage?
If it's anything like how it used to be to use Matlab code in Octave, then
it's non-trivial. But if it *were* relatively straightforward, then it might
be easier to "distribute"
