Maple is a computer algebraic system with a fast-growing number of users in schools, universities, and other institutions. Intended for anyone who is encountering Maple for the first time, First Steps in Maple provides a detailed step-by-step introduction, teaching by way of examples taken from many areas of mathematics. It is particularly suitable for undergraduates, and has self-test problems (with solutions) for each chapter.

Maple is a computer algebraic system with a fast-growing number of users in universities, schools and other institutions. Werner Burkhardt provides a detailed step-by-step introduction for all first-time users, enabling you to become familiar with the way Maple works, as quickly and easily as possible. Using as examples problems from many different aspects of mathematics, problem solving using Maple is fully described in this easy-to-follow tutorial text. Each chapter is self-contained, so you can easily select areas of your own special interest. There are some 'test yourself' problems at the end of each chapter to check your progress, with solutions provided at the end of the book.
