In December 1994, Michael Wester made a review [3] of the mathematical capabilities of different computer algebra systems, namely Axiom, Derive, Macsyma, Maple, Mathematica and Reduce. This review consists of 131 tests in different domains of mathematics (arithmetic, algebraic equations, differential equations, integration, operator computation, series expansions, limits).

The article [4] describes how to solve 71 of these problems with MuPAD 1.2.2. Release 1.3 of MuPAD will be able to solve 122 of the 131 problems. We describe in this paper the new problems that can be solved with MuPAD 1.3, and how to solve them.
