Book Description

Publication Date: January 1996

This text is the introductory documentation for Maple V Release 4. It shows how to use Maple 4 as a calculator with instant access to many high-level maths routines, and as a programming language for more demanding or specialized tasks. Topics include the basic data types and statements in the Maple V language. The book serves as a tutorial introduction and explains the difference between numeric computation and symbolic computation, illustrating how both are used in Maple V Release 4. Extensive "how to" examples are presented throughout the text to show how common types of calculations can be easily expressed in Maple. Graphics examples are used to illustrate the way in which 2D and 3D graphics can aid in understanding the behaviour of problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book to learn Maple V, March 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Maple V Learning Guide: for Release 5 (Paperback)

The book talks about the basic operations that can be performed in Maple. The positive point is the compactness of the expression rather than eloberation with too many examples ... and an index to help. Will be a good reference too.
