What is Maple?
Maple is a system for doing mathematics on the computer.
Maple can perform numerical computations, manipulate
symbolic expressions, and plot graphs. Maple thus realizes
the tenet of the "reform calculus"
movement that every problem should be examined from three
points of view: analytical, geometrical, and numerical. The
latest version, Maple 7, also incorporates some
word-processing capabilities. The main competitor of Maple
is Mathematica.
