SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on searching for symmetries in partial differential equations (PDEs) using Mathematica. Users express the need for specific commands and code examples to obtain generators and symmetries, highlighting that Mathematica requires more manual effort compared to Maple, which has built-in commands for this purpose. A recommendation is made to consult Brian Cantwell's book for Mathematica code related to symmetry analysis, although its currency is uncertain.
