Introduction
This seminar will assume that the audience has some familiarity with MATLAB, the leading engineering computation package. The audience should also either know Maple, or have been to the previous seminar that introduces Maple.
The seminar will extend the previous seminar on Maple to show the additional features that make Maple the ideal tool to extend the power of MATLAB to do symbolic mathematics calculations. In particular, Maple can simplify the creation of Simulink blocks, and can help you to understand the behaviour of existing complex Simulink models.

MATLAB is hugely powerful and is widely used, but mostly for numerical mathematics. There are many engineering tasks where even if the final model is numeric, you can get a better understanding and a simpler model if you include some symbolic calculations in your modelling. Maple allows you to go far beyond the power of the symbolic toolbox for MATLAB, and gives you a familiar, typeset notation, that makes the calculations easy to understand and to check.
There will be two aspects to this seminar:• Linking of variables between the MATLAB and Maple workspace, so you can do symbolic manipulations in Maple• Add-ons to Maple that enhance your use of Simulink.
They will be introduced in a slide show, and each will be illustrated with examples.
Seminar Highlights
• Sharing variables between the programs• Building a Simulink block in Maple• DynaFlex Pro – model multibody systems
• MATLAB users• Lecturers in mathematics, engineering or physics• Design engineers• Physicists• Mathematicians• Economists
Dr Ray Hoare has degrees in mathematics, physics and chemistry and worked for many years in industrial and environmental science. For more than 10 years he has been helping people to analyse engineering, science and business data, as well as presenting seminars and training people in the use of statistical software.
About Maple
Maple is a leading tool for engineers, scientists and researchers in any technical discipline. Whether you need t o do quick calculations, develop design sheets, produce sophisticated simulation models, or teach fundamental concepts, Maple’s world-leading computation engine offers the breadth and depth to handle every type of mathematics.

About MATLAB
The MATLAB environment integrates mathematical computing, visualisation, and a powerful technical language. Built-in interfaces let you quickly access and import data from instruments, files, external databases and programs. In addition, MATLAB lets you integrate external routines written in C, C++, Fortran, and Java with your MATLAB applications, and allows you to create compiled programs.
The MATLAB environment is designed for both interactive and automated computation.
MATLAB is used in a variety of application areas, including general algorithm development, signal and image processing, control system design, earth and life sciences, finance and economics, and instrumentation.

The presentation will be approximately 75 minutes, including time for questions.
