New generation of math software from Maplesoft


Google Tech Talks
September, 11 2007

ABSTRACT

The name Maple is synonymous with doing complex math on computers. Best known for its symbolic or algebraic computation abilities, Maple is one of the most important tools for the modern applied mathematician and scientist. Many of you are likely familiar with Maple from college but you've probably not kept up to date with latest developments. This presentation will present some of the latest product developments from Maplesoft. Topics include

- developments in high performance numerical computation
- recent advances in symbolic computing
- new Maple libraries including graph theory, statistics, optimization, polynomial operations, and more
- parallel and grid computing
- knowledge capture for mathematical documents
- the Maple programming language and application development
- overview of new add-on products including global optimization, and modeling and simulation

The presenter will be Mohamed Bendame, a senior engineer from Maplesoft. The presentations will include an open Q session.

This talk will be taped by the engEDU Tech Talks Team.

I went through a program that covered Calc 1,2,3 and part of DE1 during the summer ... used maple probably 12 hours a day and found it to be somewhat buggy (it had problems saving extremely large files, and it is often tricky to get the output in the correct form). However, we were using a very new version (probably not even on the market at that time) and I think most of the problems have since been fixed. Some people just simply get frustrated by maple though :\

Maple is definitly better if you want to do symbolic maniuplation, but I usually always end up working with matlab at work.

If you lack talent, then you just need a lot of practice :) ... though that will usually only go so far. Most software engineering does not require what I would concider a strong math abilitiy though, but it could be hard to get through an engineering school depending upon just how bad your math is.

the student use is only $99.00 maybe a older version maybe cheaper..
