An Introduction to Maple 12



Maple has fundamentally changed the way math and engineering solutions are approached

Powerful computational.. abilities, but difficult to difficult to

useuse

Attractive interface and

easy to use, but lacking depthlacking depth

Before Maple, math and engineering products fell within one of two types:

Maple, with its Technical Document Interface, is the only solution that integrates power with ease of use

Point & click, intuitive user

interface combined with the most

robust, advanced computational

engine

Maple’s Approach to Technical Computing Creates Better Solutions, Faster

• High-performance computing with the most extensive range of solvers and exploratory tools

• Creates clearer, more concise & readily shareable documents for technical communication

“We were amazed at the power of Maple. Its analytical power and modeling capabilities enabled us to get the

accuracy we were aiming for”

Jack S.P. Liu, CAE engineer, Ford Motor Company


Maplesoft is the only math technology provider that covers every aspect of academic life

• Classroom instruction; Cutting edge academic research; Testing and assessment

• Creates clearer, more concise & readily shareable documents for mathematical investigation and instruction

“When students discovered this new environment in Maple, it felt like a fresh new technique for

learning math”, he recalls. “No more long learning cycles and having to memorize numerous syntax and commands. With the click of a mouse, Maple

would present the solution in the simplest way.”

Dr. Nick Zorka, Professor, Lawrence Tech University
