About Maplesoft

Maplesoft™ is the leading provider of high-performance software tools for engineering, science, and mathematics. Its product suite reflects the philosophy that given great tools, people can do great things.

Over the years, Maplesoft has redefined the instruction of mathematics and created a total solution for modern academic institutions. In the recent past, it has transformed the way engineers, scientists, and mathematicians use math, enabling them to work better, faster, and smarter.

In the academic field, using Maplesoft products, teachers bring both simple and complex problems to life; students focus on concepts more than the mechanics of solutions; and researchers develop more sophisticated algorithms or models. Visionary ideas such as “Clickable Math” and “Clickable Engineering”, which deliver powerful mathematics through very visual, interactive point-and-click methods, are embedded in the company’s flagship product, Maple™. These methods eliminate traditional complex command sets, ensuring time is spent teaching the concepts rather than the tools, making students instantly productive and engaged. 

In the commercial markets, Maplesoft’s products help to reduce errors, shorten design time, and manage data, models, and results. Maple, solves complex mathematical problems and creates rich technical documents. Its extensive range of tools is built on Maple’s fundamental technology platform of smart documents, powerful mathematics, and seamless connectivity to the engineering design tool chain.

Maplesoft is a leading developer of advanced mathematical and analytical software.
