Google Tech TalksSeptember, 11 2007ABSTRACTThe name Maple is synonymous with doing complex math on computers. Best known for its symbolic or algebraic computation abilities, Maple is one of the most important tools for the modern applied mathematician and scientist. Many of you are likely familiar with Maple from college but you've probably not kept up to date with latest developments. This presentation will present some of the latest product developments from Maplesoft. Topics include- developments in high performance numerical computation- recent advances in symbolic computing- new Maple libraries including graph theory, statistics, optimization, polynomial operations, and more- parallel and grid computing- knowledge capture for mathematical documents- the Maple programming language and application development- overview of new add-on products including global optimization, and modeling and simulationThe presenter will be Mohamed Bendame, a senior engineer from Maplesoft. The presentations will include an open Q session.This talk will be taped by the engEDU Tech Talks Team.Speaker: Mohamed Bendame
Everything good about Maple can be found in the package called SAGE - Symbolic Algebra and Geometry Explorer. It runs a python based server so you can make Maple like notebooks in your browser. All open source and free and even uses LaTex to mark it all up nicely.

I am an Engineer tough not in software, The best way to learn math is by doing. Also look for help with teachers and tutors.If you are diligent you will grasp the concepts, its a matter of hard work only.

But to be fair the Maple language has a very nice syntax. I found it simpler to use than Mathematica.

I used Maple a some years ago, and the gui was horrible to use under linux because it didn't integrate well with X. Has this changed in the latest versions?

I went through a program that covered Calc 1,2,3 and part of DE1 during the summer ... used maple probably 12 hours a day and found it to be somewhat buggy (it had problems saving extremely large files, and it is often tricky to get the output in the correct form). However, we were using a very new version (probably not even on the market at that time) and I think most of the problems have since been fixed. Some people just simply get frustrated by maple though :\

Maple is definitly better if you want to do symbolic maniuplation, but I usually always end up working with matlab at work.

If you lack talent, then you just need a lot of practice :) ... though that will usually only go so far. Most software engineering does not require what I would concider a strong math abilitiy though, but it could be hard to get through an engineering school depending upon just how bad your math is.

the student use is only $99.00 maybe a older version maybe cheaper..

Maple and Matlab are used for different things. Making a long story short, the former is a symbolic engine and the latter is a numerical engine. They are used for different things, although they interface readily. Both great tools, I use both readily.

Maple is very good (better than matlab IMHO), but I always try not to use it too much - it's fine whan a university/company pays for it - but python with numpy etc is free, and just as powerful.
