Maple Information and Links

• How to obtain a personal copy of Maple 8 if you are a USF student.
• Open access computer labs at all USF campuses. (This may not be up-to-date.)
• The many incarnations of Maple.
• USF Academic Computing Maple information.
• Maple News Group. There are several electronic bulletin boards where one may go to ask questions about Maple. Generally the fastest replies can be obtained from the Maple Usenet news group comp.soft-sys.math.maple. This link is to the Google Groups website, but faster turn around may be more likely if you use the USF news server or the news server of your internet service provider.  The Google site has the advantage that you can search all previous postings--not just in comp.soft-sys.math.maple, but in all Usenet  newsgroups.  Another usenet group which discusses topics related to symbolic computation in general is sci.math.symbolic. But questions and discussion solely about Maple should go to comp.soft-sys.math.maple.
• Maple Users Group. You may also send questions to the Maple Users Group (aka, MUG). This is a moderated mailing list and the turn around time is often quite long.
• Waterloo Maple.This is the home page of the company that makes Maple.
• Maple Applications Center.  This is a repository for a very large collection of Maple worksheets on many different subjects in science and mathematics. You will find worksheets for single applications here as well as the worksheets for complete courses in in various subjects using Maple.
• Frequently Asked Questions and answers thereto about Maple from Waterloo Maple.
• Maple related books and articles. Hundreds of books on Maple or books that use Maple significantly can be found here.
• A Course on use of Maple to solve math problems.  These are the lectures for my course Symbolic Computation in Mathematics -- Spring 2002.  This is a course for junior and senior math majors with no previous programming experience. The idea of the course is to show students how to solve a variety of different kinds of mathematics problems using Maple. Students are expected to have completed courses in Calculus, Differential Equations, Bridge to Abstract Mathematics and Linear Algebra. Sometimes it is taken by students from other majors such as geology, physics and computer science. These worksheets will be updated during the fall semester of 2002 and will be placed on the website for this course on my homepage as they are updated.
