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

• 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
