Sometimes, it’s the little things. Those little improvements that make a good tool even better. Sometimes, it’s as simple as an easy shorthand notation that allows you to create and label points on a graph with a single command. Just to pick a totally random example.

 

A screenshot of a Maple Learn document containing a math cell and a plot. The math cell reads 'A(1,2)'. The plot show a point plotted at (1,2) with the label 'A'.

Okay, maybe it’s not totally random. Maybe this new point notation is one of our newest features in Maple Learn, and maybe it’s now easy and quick for you to create labeled points to your heart’s content. Maybe you could learn more about all the ins and outs of this new feature by checking out the how-to document.

But I can’t make any guarantees, of course.

That said, if this hypothetical scenario were true, you would also be able to see it in action in our new document on the proof of the triangle inequality.

A screenshot of a Maple Learn document. The left side shows an explanation of how the triangles are constructed for Euclid's proof of the triangle inequality. The right side shows an adjustable graph of said triangles.

With this document, you can explore a detailed (and interactive!) visualization of the proof using Euclidean geometry. You can adjust the triangles to see for yourself that the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the third side, read through the explanation to see the mathematical proof, and challenge yourself with the questions it leaves you to answer. And those points on those triangles? Labeled. Smoothly and easily. I wonder how they might have done it?

We hope you enjoy the new update! Let us know what other features you want to see in Maple Learn, and we’ll do our best to turn those dreams into reality.
