If you are new to Maple V, we recommend the first section of the tutorial, Maple Think , as an introduction.
Maple V is a comprehensive computer system for advanced mathematics.
It includes facilities for interactive algebra, calculus, discrete mathematics, graphics, numerical computation and many other areas of mathematics. It also provides a unique environment for rapid development of mathematical programs using its vast library of built-in functions and operations. Maple V Release 5 includes palettes, context-sensitive menus, and a new input mode, Standard Math notation, that allow entry and manipulation of mathematical expressions without detailed knowledge of Maple syntax. For compatibility with previous versions of Maple V, Release 5 is configured to start with palettes disabled and to accept input in Maple notation. To switch to Standard Math input mode, select Standard Math from the Input Display submenu of the Options menu.
