Subject:      Maple V info

The student edition of Maple V for the Amiga is currently in the
initial discussion stages, and we do not have any definite release
dates at this time.  The best that I can do about describing this
future (potential) package is to send you the current information
about the student editions for the DOS and Macintosh platforms,
which this is likely to be modelled after.

If you send me your full postal address, I can also arrange for your
name to be added to our list of interested customers and we can
contact you about the availability of this product in the future.
I can also send you our current information about the full
professional edition of Amiga Maple V, if requested.

Here is information about the Maple V Student Edition, which is
available for the Macintosh and 386/DOS platforms.

The student version of Maple for the 386/DOS platform can run under
windows, but does not support the full windows implementation.

If you are interested in the full professional version of Maple,
which now supports a full windows implementation and includes a
free upgrade to Maple V Release 2 with purchase, please send us your
complete postal address, and I would be happy to arrange for a
comprehensive information package to be mailed to you.  If requested,
I can also provide some additional info about the full version and
order details by e-mail.

I hope this information helps.  If you have any further questions,
please do not hesitate to ask.

                      MAPLE V:  STUDENT EDITION

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Brooks/Cole Publishing Co. are selling a version of Maple V produced
exclusively for students.  This student version of Maple V will contain much of
the power of Maple V, but its main intent is to provide the necessary tools to
supplement first and second year mathematics courses.

The Student Edition of Maple V contains features allowing for
accurate symbolic, numeric, and graphic results. This version does not
contain all of the packages found in the full implementation of Maple
V, and runs slightly slower than the full edition (due to disk space
compression algorithms).  It is a powerful computer algebra system that
will provide students with a strong mathematical aid for their studies.

Smaller than the full version of Maple V, the Student Edition will use
4Mb of disk space and 2Mb or more of RAM, and is intended for use on a
Macintosh or 386/486 DOS based machine, with or without a coprocessor.

The Maple V:  Student Edition will consist of the software, an
installation booklet, and "The Maple V Flight Manual" by
Ellis, Lodi, Johnson, and Schwalbe.  This 180 page guide introduces the
user to Maple V through tutorials in precalculus, calculus, linear
algebra, and differential equations.  A complete on-line help and
reference system is provided for easy access to information about
available Maple V functions.

The Algebra Engine and Language Interpreter (Kernel), the Online Help
System, Libraries, and many packages (including Linear Algebra, Number
Theory, Orthogonal Polynomials, Graphics Package, Linear Optimization,
Statistics, ODE computations and graphs, and Student Calculus) are
the same in both the Student and Professional editions of Maple V.
However, the following packages are not included with the Student Edition:

combinat:       Combinatorial Functions
geometry:       Two- and Three-Dimensional Euclidean Geometry
grobner:        Grobner Bases
group:          Permutation and Finitely-Presented Groups
liesymm:        Lie Symmetries
logic:          Boolean Logic
powseries:      Formal Power Series
projgeom:       Projective Geometry
totorder:       Total Orders on Names
misc. commands: binanchi, cartan, debever, oframe, petrov,
                tensor, np, difforms

Documentation not included with the Student Edition:
Maple V Language and Reference Manual
Maple V Library Reference Manual
First Leaves:  A Tutorial Introduction to Maple V

This student edition of Maple V includes installation support from
Brooks/Cole, and documentation entitled "The Maple V Flight Manual" by
Ellis, Lodi, Johnson, and Schwalbe (see description above).

Produced for students, Maple V Student Edition, is offered at a
student price of $99.00 (US).  For more information, please contact:
