The company called him a leading Maple proponent, being one among hundreds of Maple Ambassadors at colleges and universities across North America and Europe. Moore spent a week in Toronto earlier this month meeting with different groups among the interface and kernel programming, mathematics algorithms, marketing, sales, and documentation departments. He was asked to share his opinions, impressions, experiences, and suggestions for improvements to better serve the community college curriculum. When asked to describe Maple, Moore replied, Maple is very advanced mathematics software that is used in the industry and most major universities in the United States and Canada, and also used widely in Japan, Europe, and elsewhere. It s even used locally at Boeing in Seal Beach.
Maple is a modern and professional tool for doing all aspects of mathematics.
The software allows for numeric computation, is far more accurate than a calculator, and is able to graph two and three dimensions, animations, and symbolic computation. It solves algebra and calculus problems just as you would do with pencil and paper. Moore believes it is a wonderful asset to students saying, It s very powerful and if used creatively, can greatly help students learn better and faster. Moore has worked to bring this powerful tool comfortably into the hands of Cerritos College students. Professor Moore primarily teaches math at Cerritos College, but has also taught computer science and math software classes.
