Maple language may be used to write your own functions and procedures which take arguments and return results. Procedures are ususally read in from text source files, or your own library of packages packages can be created. While Maple cannot be directly compiled, C or Fortran source can be generated for Maple expressions using the C and fortran commands. Back to Contents . Sequence A group of structures separated by commas, used to separate arguments of Maple commands.
Maple provides sets of solutions when there is more than one.
Matrices and vectors are just arrays restricted to two and one dimensions, respectively. The matrix and vector commands are defined in the linalg package. Note that within the linalg package, vectors and matrices are also distinct types, and while vectors are displayed as row vectors, they behave as column vectors. Tables Tables are generalized arrays which are not restricted integer indices and may also have more than two dimensions. An expression is a compound structure composed of Maple commands and operations.
