How does Phaser compare to Maple, Mathematica, or Matlab?
To be sure, they all have overlapping capabilities. However, Phaser is designed specifically for bringing out the dynamics of equations rather than creating static pictures. In Phaser one can watch the evolution of thousands of trajectories in real-time. Unlike the others, Phaser has completely graphical point-and-click controls at one’s fingertips; no mastery of specialized syntax is required for even complicated tasks. In addition to being a scientific computing and visualization environment, Phaser is a resource for specific differential and difference equations; Equation Libraries contain nearly one hundred equations exhibiting a wide panorama of dynamical behaviors and their explanations.
