Maple BasicsDescriptionTaken from the Learning Guide for Maple:Maple is a Symbolic Computation System or Computer Algebra System. Maple manipulates information in a symbolic or algebraic manner. You can obtain exact analytical solutions to many mathematical problems, including integrals, systems of equations, differential equations, and problems in linear algebra. Maple contains a large set of graphics routines for visualizing complicated mathematical information, numerical algorithms for providing estimates and solving problems where exact solutions do not exist, and a complete and comprehensive programming language for developing custom functions and applications. Availability and SetupMaple is available on all of the Linux Cluster and IBM pSeries machines.To run Maple, simply type maple. Using MapleThe basic syntax is to enter a command such as 2 + 3 followed by a ; (semicolon) and hit Enter such as: The command to exit Maple is quit; .
