Description
|
|
•
|
The FromMma(Mma_input) calling sequence translates Mathematica input into its Maple input equivalent. This command helps Mathematica users learn Maple.
|
•
|
You can also use the Maplet application interface MmaTranslator[MmaToMaple] to translate Mathematica input and notebooks to Maple input and worksheets.
|
•
|
The FromMma(Mma_input) and convert(Mma_input, FromMma) calling sequences produce the same result.
|
•
|
If you are using the Maple command prompt, the Mathematica input to be translated Mma_input must be enclosed in double quotes (") or left single (`) quotes.
|
|
Note: The FromMma(Mma_input) calling sequence does not translate Mathematica programs or Mathematica comments enclosed by (* ... *). Some automatic simplifications, for example, 2+2 -> 4, are also unavoidable.
|
•
|
If you call FromMma(Mma_input) with no options specified, the Mathematica input is translated without performing the intended computation.
|
|
To evaluate the translation, specify the optional argument evaluate.
|
|
To suppress warning messages, specify the optional argument quiet.
|
•
|
Some Mathematica commands do not have an exact Maple equivalent; however, the translation can still be performed using the MmaTranslator[Mma] subpackage, which contains commands based on the existence of very similar Maple commands. For more information, see MmaTranslator[Mma].

Examples
|
|
The translation of Mathematica input considers the differences in the definitions of the mathematical functions.

|
|
| (1) |
>
|
|
| (2) |
Translate the Mathematica input defined above.

|
|
| (3) |
The FromMma( % ) command and the convert(%, FromMma) command are equivalent. They return the same results. Note also that the Mathematica input is translated, but not evaluated.
>
|
|
| (4) |
Produce a full evaluation of the above translation.
>
|
|
| (5) |
Alternatively, include the evaluate option to evaluate the translation in one step.
>
|
|
| (6) |
Apart from mathematical expressions, command operations can also be translated.
