MuPAD and Reduce

Abstract
Using a wide set of more than 50 different kinds of ordinary differential equations
and systems, we try to give an idea of the capabilities of Axiom, Derive, Macsyma, Maple,
Mathematica, MuPAD and Reduce in solving differential equations. In our conclusion we
firstly want to give the user an answer to the question "What system should I use?" and
secondly to point out to developers of computer algebra systems the advantages and/or
drawbacks of their ODE solver, to help to improve it.
