order to code and solve the same problemwith Mathematica. They were also instructed to write brief reports describing their experienceswith this use of Maple.My purpose in giving this assignment was to see if students found the Maple template helpful. Ifthey did find it helpful, then in what ways did it assist them? If they did not find it helpful, thenwhat was problematic or confusing?2. Background and motivationDuring the previous year, I had been working on a Mathematica project, transcribing givenMaple code into corresponding Mathematica code. I was part of a faculty team at TheUniversity of Tulsa (TU) that was working with the text, Advanced Engineering Mathematics,Robert J. Lopez 1. Maple solutions to the computer problems in this text
