Here's a fun video that we discovered today.  A Maple user and music composer posted a video featuring one of his songs. As the description of the video states, it includes "Maple animations of parametric surfaces mixed up with modulo functions rendered in cylindrical coordinates."

The animations start at the 1:12 mark of the video. 

We are currently working on a set of updates to MaplePrimes, which you can expect to see rolled out sometime during the first quarter of this year.  Most of the changes have been taken directly from your comments and feedback about MaplePrimes, so thank you very much!

From the outset, the goal of MaplePrimes was to provide the Maple & MapleSim user communities with a platform to ask questions, share knowledge and to collaborate with other users.  And for the most part, the site has exceeded these goals.  Since its inception in 2005, we have received tens of thousands of posts from over 10,000 members, and we are privileged to have accumulated a group of dedicated, knowledgeable users who have become the heart of this community.

I thought that some of you would be interested in Tom Lee's latest blog post at Maplesoft.com regarding MapleSim 4, and what it means to both Tom and Maplesoft.   As always, your comments and thoughts are greatly appreciated.

As of today, Maplesoft has an office in Germany, allowing us to provide local sales and support to customers in Germany and Austria.  With the opening of this office, Scientific Computers will no longer act as Maplesoft's reseller in these territories.
