Maple supports the easy creation of interactive Math Apps for use in the classroom and through The Möbius Project, an initiative from Maplesoft that supports the creation, sharing, and grading of Math Apps. With Maple 18, instructors can take advantage of increased flexibility in the one-step Math App creation tool to quickly create even more complex applications, and easily create randomly generated quizzes for their students
Maple 18 also offers a host of improvements to enhance the student experience, so they can learn important concepts quickly and easily.
New Clickable Math™ tools include a dedicated calculus palette, improved contextsensitive menus for student-learning, and over 75 new Math Apps for math, biology, chemistry, and engineering.
A The Möbius Project, an initiative from Maplesoft that supports the creation, sharing, and grading of Math Apps. With Maple 18, instructors can take advantage of increased flexibility in the new statistics package designed specifically to help teachers and students with an introductory course in statistics offers formulas and visualizations of statistical quantities, hypothesis testing, and interactive exploration.
Other important enhancements were made in visualization, mathematics, and the user interface: Extensive updates to visualization include a new package for quickly creating fractals, custom plot shading and image textures, background images on plots, and new visualization tools for signal processing and time series analysis.
The many mathematical computation improvements include updates to physics, time series analysis, polynomial operations, dynamic systems, and graph theory.
A powerful new search tool provides instant access to all the relevant help pages, tasks, assistants, tutors, and Math Apps in Maple and in The Möbius Project, with previews available so customers can easily select the exact resource they need.
“Maple is used in so many different ways by our customers, from a student’s first exploration of a new concept, to instructors creating learning materials to engage and evaluate their class, to researchers working on large, complex projects,” says Dr. Laurent Bernardin, Executive Vice-President and Chief Scientist at Maplesoft. “Maple 18 offers important new advantages for all these customers. With advancements in application development tools, specialized tools for student learning, and enhancements in its computation engine, Maple 18 helps customers reach their education and research goals more quickly than ever before.”
