New generation of math software from Maplesoft

Google Tech Talks
September, 11 2007

ABSTRACT

The 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 simulation

The 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.

Math is so much easier drunk. Lol

Sometimes, not always people is afraid of math: In school you develop a fear for them because of bad teachers who make learning the subject too difficult.

Give it a try, or get some provate lessons if you can, perhaps you are good at it with some practice, you just don't know it yet. :-)

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 :\
