Learn how to use the modern techniques offered by Maple V, a powerful and popular computer algebra system. The Maple V Primer: Release 4 covers all the basic topics a reader needs to know to use Maple V in its major revision encompassed in Release 4 to do algebra and calculus, solve equations, graph 2- and 3-dimensional plots, perform simple programming tasks, and prepare mathematical documents. Every common command and function is supported by a specific example, so you won't waste time struggling with the syntax. Graphs, plots, and other Maple output are provided along with the syntax, so the user knows what to expect when she or he uses a particular command. And all the examples come with a short discussion, answering questions you might have about applying the example to your own work. This is a painless - even fun - way to learn how to use Maple V.

Maple V Mathematics Learning Guide is the fully revised introductory documentation for Maple V Release 5. It shows how to use Maple V as a calculator with instant access to hundreds of high-level math routines and as a programming language for more demanding or specialized tasks. Topics include the basic data types and statements in the Maple V language. The book serves as a tutorial introduction and explains the difference between numeric computation and symbolic computation, illustrating how both are used in Maple V Release 5. Extensive "how-to" examples are presented throughout the text to show how common types of calculations can be easily expressed in Maple. Graphics examples are used to illustrate the way in which 2D and 3D graphics can aid in understanding the behaviour of problems.

Presents information about the study of calculus and differential equations using Maple V mathematical software. Notes that interactive text, along with labs and projects, is provided by Joe A. Martin, Hok Kim, and Ernest Burniston of the Department of Mathematics at the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at North Carolina State University. Explains that the information is accessible in the Adobe Acrobat format.

With the integration of Maple, this text reduces the emphasis on computation and focuses instead on the concepts and processes of mathematics. This approach also encourages students to generalize about the theory and application of calculus, and permits the exploration of more interesting and complex problems. This complimentary text can stand alone as a main text in a short two term calculus course. It can also use a lab-oriented approach employing the computational and pedagogical features of Maple.

Accompanying CD-ROM includes all Maple V input that appears in the book.

The fully revised edition of this best-selling title presents the modern computer algebra system Maple. It teaches the reader not only what can be done by Maple, but also how and why it can be done. The book provides the necessary background for those who want the most of Maple or want to extend its built-in knowledge, containing both elementary and more sophisticated examples as well as many exercises.
