Mr. Passi,

There are a lot of things that have been upgraded and added since M10.  Here are a few highlights:

·        Self-documenting context menus:  automatically create a record of your actions while you solve your problem.  Basically, Maple will annotate what it’s doing when you use the context menus.

·        More features have been added to the right-click context sensitive menus

·        2-D Plotting

o   2-D math can appear in titles, labels, legends and tickmarks

o   Exclusive plot annotation features allow sketching, typing, and drawing of lines, arrows, and shapes on plots using the drawing canvas tools

o   Improvement in rendering speed, tickmark placement, legend placement, line styles, etc.

·        Student Portal: This portal is intended to help students and other new Maple users perform basic tasks and find further information about Maple.  It can help you find the commands you want, and point you to relevant features of the user interface.  The portal is broken up into three main sections: How do I…, Tools and Features, and Maple Resources.

·        Exploration Assistant:  allows you to take an arbitrary Maple expression and create a mini application that lets you explore the effects of variables on your expression.
