On this page you will find things related to Maple. Maple is a computer algebra system and as such is very useful for symbolic and numerical calculations. We will be using Maple during the course. Hence, you should install Maple on your computer.From the Dartmouth web site, download and install the appropriate version of Maple 15 for your computer. I want to emphasize that Maple MUST be installed as a NETWORK license, and you must be on campus or use vpn to do this: download link for both Mac and PC users.
Once you have installed Maple you can download the following worksheet:
- worksheet of examples [On Windows, right click to save link as; in OS X, using the appropriate command key, hold the mouse down until the drop-down menu appears with the save link as option.]
It will show you how to use a few beginning features of Maple. Make sure you activate the initial lines of a cell in the worksheet, by putting the cursor at the end of the line and hitting return. We do not expect you to write programs in Maple, but to be able to use and modify those Maple worksheets that you are given.
Later, we will be adding to this page Maple worksheets that we will be using in class and that you can download onto your own machines. In particular, we will be sending secret messages to each other using Maple.
Here you will find class demos that use Maple.
