An Overview of Maple

Maple is a general purpose computer algebra system, designed to solve mathematical problems and produce high-quality technical graphics. It is easy to learn, but powerful enough to calculate difficult integrals. It incorporates a high-level programming language which allows the user to define his/her own procedures for a particular problem; it also has packages of specialized functions which may be loaded to do work in group theory, linear algebra, and statistics, as well as in other fields.

NOTE:
1.The program is the same in both Xp and Unix operating system.
2.The Key combinations for Xp and Unix for some operations may be different. Please see the help files f or clarification.
3. First time users are recommended to go through the tour for a thorough understanding of basic concepts.
