As for reading material on Maple, there is quite a bit on the Web. A number of these are from University classes. One I downloaded and used is Problem Solving with Maple, by Carl Eberhart, carl@ms.uky.edu from U. of Kentucky. There are others as well. Google is your friend. Also depends a little on what you need (e.g. calculus vs linear algebra).

A number of these are relatively old and use earlier Maple versions all the way back to Maple V. But do not let this discourage you; the basics have not changed that much. The Maple docs (User guide and Programming guide & whatever else there is) are actually useful as well and available online at Maplesoft.com.

You do want to peruse the Help facility often. While not perfect there is a lot of good info in there.

Finally, start with simpler problems even if you can do them faster by hand. In that way you'll get the hang of Maple & its idiosyncrasies. For more complicated problems it almost always pays off to break them down into steps & guide Maple along. Maple won't solve a biggie for you in one command (at least not usually). But if you take it through the steps it may well get to the solution and avoid tripping up on details as we humans are often prone to do.

Maple is a sophisticated tool that comes with a learning curve so you'll need to invest some time. If you work or will want to work in a technical/scientific field, this investment will pay off big time, though.
