Talk:Maple (software)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maple should be added to category "Numerical programming languages".
Agreed and done. If you want to do that, all you need do is add the text [[Category:Numerical programming languages]] to the article text. --Saforrest 18:21, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] POV on Criticsms Section
First of all, that section needs some sources.
"this does not adequately compensate the public for the commercialization of Maple." The section containing this sentence needs work, ie, some official or notable person saying so. Right now it is worded like Wikipedia says its inadequate. The rest of the section reads like Wikipedia is allegeing these claims. We must find sources or delete. Copysan 08:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] More on criticisms
I have removed [1] the horribly unsourced and POV "criticisms" and also the "responses":
- None of the criticisms are sourced (the "reference" was to a poll on Maple Primes which is hardly classifiable as a reliable source),
- the criticisms are rather randomly and idiosyncratically chosen,
- the "responses" are unsourced apologetics which do not even respond to the criticisms cited.
Wikipedia is not a place for random anonymous axe-grinding about Maple's flaws. Criticisms have to be sourced (e.g. a magazine review of the software).
My objection to these criticisms is purely for the reasons cited above. That said, in order to prevent any impression that I'm concealing my background, I should mention that I am a former employee of Waterloo Maple. --Saforrest 03:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Maple Bugs encyclopedia
I think there should really be a link here to the maple bugs encyclopedia, and a general discussion of bugs in maple. Comments? Mrjeff 11:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- If you can do it while satisfying Wikipedia:Attribution, sure. But I doubt that will be possible. --Saforrest 00:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
