Introduction
Do you want a powerful mathematics program that comes with a short learning curve? MapleSoft have provided it with version 12! With the new features recently added to Maple it has become a powerful tool for the use of engineers working on real problems, as well as being a great tool for teaching engineering and other aspects of mathematics.
The seminar will be an introduction to the program for those who don't know Maple, but because the presenter will demonstrate many of the new features found in version 11 and 12 it will also be of interest to existing users as well. It will include a description of the way in which Maple is particularly useful as a supplement to MATLAB.

Maple is a leading program for performing symbolic and numeric mathematical calculations on computers. Because it has a document interface you can use your text book as a guide to what your input expressions should look like, and your output is given in a typeset, familiar notation. Of course, if you prefer command lines Maple can still do that too.
It finds extensive application in many fields of engineering, most scientific disciplines, and mathematical based business areas such as econometrics and financial analysis, as well as being one of the most widely-used tools for teaching undergraduate mathematics.
Because Maplesoft recognise that many users are just beginning to learn the program, they have created a set of "Assistants", "Tutors" and pre-programmed tasks to help you to avoid the finer details altogether, or to get you kick-started when you need the details.
Maple has two target audiences, with materials to assist both. The traditional audience is those needing to perform academic instruction, but there is now much to attract the practical engineer, and moving forward we will see an emphasis on this aspect.
Overview
We will begin with a slide show based discussion of the nature and scope of the Maplesoft range of products, including those that work with MATLAB.
This will be followed by demonstrations of the numeric and symbolic power of the program, with examples that illustrate both the document and programming interfaces of Maple, and examples of both teaching and engineering interest.
