This book provides an accelerated introduction to Maple for scientific programmers who already have experience in other computer languages (such as C, Pascal, or Fortran). It gives an overview of the most commonly used constructs and an elementary introduction to Maple programming. This edition is substantially updated throughout. In particular, there are new programming features especially modules, nested lexical scopes, documentation features, and object-oriented support), a new solution of differential equations, and new plotting features.

The new edition is substantially updated throughout to release of Maple 7. In particular, there are new programming features (especially modules, nested lexical scopes, documentation features, and object-oriented support), a new solution of differential equations, and new plotting features.

The best book on Maple just got better. This lively book is bursting with clear descriptions, revealing examples and top tips. It is gentle enough to act as an introduction and yet sufficiently comprehensive and well organised to serve as a reference manual. Maple Release 7 is significantly different to earlier releases, so this book will appeal even to hardened users who want to catch up fast.
