MAPLE

 

Maple™ is the essential technical computing software for today’s engineers, mathematicians, and scientists. Whether you need to do quick calculations, develop design sheets, teach fundamental concepts, or produce sophisticated high-fidelity simulation models, Maple’s world-leading computation engine offers the breadth, depth, and performance to handle every type of mathematics.

Core functionality

Users can enter mathematics in traditional mathematical notation. Custom user interfaces can also be created. There is extensive support for numeric computations, to arbitrary precision, as well as symbolic computation and visualization. Examples of symbolic computations are given below.
Maple incorporates a dynamically typed imperative-style programming language which resembles Pascal^[2]. The language permits variables of lexical scope. There are also interfaces to other languages (C, Fortran, Java, MATLAB, and Visual Basic). There is also an interface with Excel.


Maple can help students a lot in their studies. They can use it in solving problems in mathematics. It is easy, reliable, friendly user and more.

For example, they can use maple for plotting graph. 

Plotting of function of two variables

Plot x² + y² with x and y ranging from -1 to 1

plot3d(x^2+y^2,x=-1..1,y=-1..1);

Maple is an essential tool for students in any mathematical discipline. It lets you explore, visualize, and solve even the most complex mathematical problems, reducing errors and providing greater insight into the math.Students can run Maple-created learning materials through a web browser from anywhere in the world on or off campus with no other software needed on their machines.
