matlab的符号工具箱将弃maple而用MuPAD

众所周知，matlab里有两个工具箱Symbolic Math Toolbox 和 Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox用到了maple的内核。
如今，这个事实将很可能在即将到来的matlab新版本 R2008b 里不复存在：
Maplesoft’s Maple engine will no longer be sold by The MathWorks under the product name Symbolic Math Toolbox

For many years, The MathWorks has resold the Maple™ engine under the product names Symbolic Math Toolbox and Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox.
These products were designed for high performance symbolic
computations. As the partnership between Maplesoft and The MathWorks is
changing, the Maple engine will be sold exclusively by Maplesoft. This change will take effect September 28th, 2008. Until September 28, 2008, The MathWorks will continue to sell versions of the Symbolic Math Toolbox and Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox which use the Maple engine.

弃了maple，换上的是MuPAD，让我们 wait and see
