Heal K.M., Hansen M.L., Rickard K.M. Maple V: Learning Guide

Springer, 1998. — 296 p. — ISBN: 9780387983998Maple V is a Symbolic Computation System or Computer Algebra System. Both phrases refer to Maple V's ability to manipulate information in a symbolic or algebraic manner. Conventional mathematical programs require numerical values for all variables. By contrast, Maple V maintains and manipulates the underlying symbols and expressions.
You can use these symbolic capabilities to obtain exact analytical solutions to many mathematical problems, including integrals, systems of equations, differential equations, and problems in linear algebra. Complementing the symbolic operations are a large set of graphics routines for visualizing complicated mathematical information, numerical algorithms for providing estimates and solving problems where exact solutions do not exist, and a complete and comprehensive programming language for developing custom functions and applications.Interactive Use of Maple.
