Hi All Does this mean that Physics want to renew the Departmental Licence this year?

Besides we are in the process of redefining the UG course. Best, david On 17/08/11 11:40, Mannall, Adrian B wrote:
David,
Is Maple used in the teaching of undergraduates at all? If so then the department will still need to pay for its share of the College Site License for this.
Regards
Adrian

Hi David,
I know that some of us in QOLS use MAPLE, although I have to find out how many. Most people use Mathematica, though, as it is vastly superior. Personally, I have to agree with your suggestion to spend the money on a few more Mathematica seats, but I'd rather ask our group members for their views as there are always strong opinions around.

Hi,
Just a quick question. How many groups use MAPLE? The MAPLE license is up for renewal and while it is only £1320 I was wondering if it is actually used and if so by which groups. At present the cost is spread across:
Astrophysics Condensed Matter Theory Experimental Solid State Physics High Energy Physics Photonics Plasma Physics Shock Physics Quantum Optics & Laser Science Theoretical Physics Teaching
and so is only £120/group but in the future would this be money better spent on a few more mathematica seats?
Best, david
