Synopsis

An introduction to Maple which is a Symbolic Computation System or Computer Algebra System. Both phrases refer to Maple's ability to manipulate information in a symbolic or algebraic manner. Conventional mathematical programs require numerical values for all variables. By contrast, Maple maintains and manipulates the underlying symbols and expressions, as well as evaluates numerical expressions. This book systematically discusses important concepts and builds a framework of knowledge which will guide you in your use of the interface and the Maple language. It introduces the most important commands and, more importantly, the book presents the philosophy and methods of use intended by the designers of the system. The simple concepts allow you to use Maple fully and efficiently.
