Maple Training
A Maple training video of the basic features is provided at the website: https: / / www.maplesoft.com / support / training/quickstart.aspx.
The website has a self-contained video tutorial “Maple Quick Start.” Maple’s basic features covered include:
- • Numeric Computations
- • Symbolic Computations
- • Programming Basic Maple Procedures
- • Visualization
- • Calculus
- • Linear Algebra
- • Student Packages
- • Other Maple Packages
This training serves as a basic refresher of Maple commands. The website also has a “QuickStart” PDF reference.
Maple Applications Center
The Maple Applications Center found at
https: / / www.maplesoft.com / applications / contains a large collection of worksheets available to students and practitioners alike. The authors have several worksheets available on the site.
