Maple vs. Mathematica
Maple and Mathematica are the software tools used for the mathematics, sciences and engineering fields. Maple and Mathematica are two different software. For symbolic and numeric computations about 190 probability distributions are supported by the Mathematica while Maple supports about 50 probability distributions. Maple supports computations on 17 different random process types while Mathematica supports 35 types. Mathematica supports eight colors for image processing while Maple supports four colors. Mathematica supports both 2D and 3D images while Maple only supports 2D images.

Key Differences
Mathematica supports both 2D and 3D images while Maple only supports 2D images.

Maple
A tree of the genus Acer, including about fifty species. Acer saccharinum is the rock maple, or sugar maple, from the sap of which sugar is made, in the United States, in great quantities, by evaporation; the red maple or swamp maple is Acer rubrum; the silver maple, Acer dasycarpum, having fruit wooly when young; the striped maple, Acer Pennsylvanium, called also moosewood. The common maple of Europe is Acer campestre, the sycamore maple is Acer Pseudo-platanus, and the Norway maple is Acer platanoides.
