announcement of textbook for mathematics with Maple, new edition

J F Ogilvie — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 17:36:50 Z

A powerful approach to the teaching and learning of mathematics for students of science and engineering has been made practical through the development of powerful general mathematical software, of which Maple provides the least steep learning curve. Accordingly, it is timely to produce an interactive electronic textbook that, for students of chemistry -- also biochemistry and chemical engineering, has as its objective in part I,

Can anyone suggest some non-routine class projects for a Calculus II course using Maple?

jheidel@unomaha.edu — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 19:30:35 Z

I'm looking for several challenging projects for a Calculus II course using Maple which I'll be teaching in Spring 2013. By challenging I mean that the project will have several steps including both conceptual and computational aspects. I'd also like them to be suitable for group work if possible. I'd be willing to devote from 3-5 class periods for each of three or four different projects. Our Calc I and Calc II are five hour...

Yet more Clickable Calculus solutions!

Robert Lopez — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 20:02:23 Z

Ten more Clickable Calculus solutions have been added to the Teaching Concepts with Maple section of the Maplesoft web site. Solutions to problems include examples in algebra, differential and integral calculus, lines-and-planes in multivariate calculus, linear algebra, and vector calculus.

The algebra additions include an example illustrating how a

Teaching Calculus with Maple: A Complete Kit

bryon — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:58:57 Z

We have just released Teaching Calculus with Maple: A Complete Kit. Leveraging both Maple and Maple T.A., Teaching Calculus with Maple includes lecture notes, student worksheets, Maple demonstrations, Maple T.A. homework, and more – everything you need to teach Calculus 1 and Calculus 2. Teaching Calculus with Maple was developed at the University of Guelph under the leadership of an award-winning teacher and field-tested in classes with hundreds of students.

A Simple Thank You

Recently, a Maplesoft customer service representative received an e-mail from one of our users with the subject line: A Simple Thank You. We wanted to share this message with you, as it demonstrates how the power and flexibility of Maple helped one student get ahead in his studies.

The following is an actual email we received from Eli E., which describes his experience using Maple as a university student.

Hello, my name is Eli...

Implicitplot3d bounded portion of surface

hsogaard — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 09:10:51 Z

I want to graph the portion of the plane 2x + 3y + z = 6 that are located in the first octant of a xyz coordinate system. The following implicitplot3d should in principle do it:

11 New Clickable Calculus Examples added to Teaching Concepts with Maple

Robert Lopez — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:58:10 Z

Eleven new Clickable-Calculus examples have been added to the Teaching Concepts with Maple section of the Maplesoft website. That means some 74 of the 154 solved problems in my data-base of syntax-free calculations are now available. Once again, these examples and associated videos illustrate point-and-click computations in support of the pedagogic message of resequencing skills and concepts.

This message has been articulated in ...

Ten new 'Teaching Concepts with Maple' examples added

Robert Lopez — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 16:04:25 Z

With the addition of ten new Clickable-Calculus examples to the Teaching Concepts with Maple section of the Maplesoft website, we've now posted 63 of the 154 solved problems in my data-base of syntax-free calculations. Once again, these examples and associated videos illustrate point-and-click computations, but more important, they embody the

New Teaching Examples Added

Robert Lopez — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 14:47:04 Z

My list of problems solved with Clickable-Calculus syntax-free techniques now numbers 154, spread over eight subject areas. Recently, Maplesoft posted to its website 44 of these problems, along with videos of their point-and-click solutions. Not only do these solutions demonstrate Maple functionalities, but they also have a pedagogic message, that is resequencing skills and concepts. They show how Maple can be used to obtain a solution, then show how Maple can be used to implement...

Teaching Concepts with Maple

Robert Lopez — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:31:36 Z

Being easy to use is nice, but being easy to learn with is better. Maple’s ease-of-use paradigm, captured in the phrases “Clickable Calculus” and “Clickable Math” provides a syntax-free way to use Maple. The learning curve is flattened. But making Maple easy to use to use badly in the classroom helps neither student nor instructor.

In the mid to late ‘80s,...

FixedPointIteration of Maple

Kamel — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 20:23:14 Z

Hi,

I'm teaching numerical analysis with Maple and then I started with fixed iteration method.

When I programed the method which is simple, I got the solution as:

restart:with(Student[NumericalAnalysis]):

f := x->2*tan(x)-x-1;

g := x->arctan((1/2)*x+1/2); # fixed point method where the solution of x=g(x) is the the solution f(x)=0

x[0] := 0.2; for k from 0 to 20 do x[k+1] := evalf(g(x[k])) end do; this line give the solution

Somebody know how print the tutorial's code?

Greetings:

Anyone know how I can print the code of the Tutorials of the Maplets?

I need take it as a guide to developing themselves because I don't dominate so much the Maplets management and I need...

Your Daily Distraction: Velociraptor Math

Stephanie Rozek — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 04:00:00 Z

A favorite diversion of mine (and of many around the Maplesoft office) is xkcd. Its author, Randall Munroe, bills it as “a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.” Since 2005, he’s been entertaining many self-proclaimed geeks with his unique and slightly skewed jokes on technology, computer science, mathematics, and relationships.

I really like the post in which a substitute teacher – hm, Mr. Munroe......
