Generally speaking, physicists still experience that computing with paper
and pencil is in most cases simpler than computing on a Computer Algebra
worksheet. On the other hand, recent developments in the Maple system
implemented most of the mathematical objects and mathematics used in
theoretical physics computations, and dramatically approximated the
notation used in the computer to the one used in paper and pencil,
diminishing the learning gap and computer-syntax distraction to a strict
minimum. In connection, in this talk the Physics project at Maplesoft is
presented and the resulting Physics package illustrated tackling problems
in classical and quantum mechanics, general relativity and field theory.
