Students and Educators – take advantage of the Maple Portal!
You've installed Maple 12 and launched it. Now what? How do you get Maple to do the math you want? The Maple Portal was designed to provide answers to the question "How do I...?" with Maple and can be easily accessed from within Maple 12. In the “How do I…” section of the Portal, get answers to the most common questions a user might ask about Maple. The "Tools and Features" section provides descriptions of the ease-of-use features and tools available in Maple 12. The “Maple Resources” section links to information contained either in the Maple help system or on the Maple web site, including links to the Student Resource Center, and to training videos. In addition, there is a link to the Maple Application Center, a repository for user-contributed materials available for download and use. Finally, there is also a link to the MaplePrimes site, the interactive home of the Maple user community. If you are a user of Maple 12, access the Maple Portal by entering the command ?Portal and pressing the Enter key.

Analyze the Path of a Liquid-Handling Robot
Liquid-handling robots are becoming valuable tools for almost any researcher or technician working in a biological or chemical laboratory. A common mistake made by individuals with limited experience in robotics or control theory is fine tuning each of the robot's axes independently to desired position and speed criteria instead of tuning each axis with respect to the others. In this application brief we explore the challenge of verifying the path of a liquid dispensing robot as it dispenses fluid to a sequence of wells on a microtiter plate. Read brief>> |

Introduction to Maple 12 for Academics
Tuesday, January 13, 2009 2:00 pm EST.
In this one-hour demonstration and Q&A forum, you will learn how Maple 12 is redefining math education and opening new horizons in technical research. By taking advantage of such features as interactive tutors, context-sensitive menus, expanded mathematical capabilities, and the new Exploration Assistant, see how teachers can bring complex problems to life, students can focus on concepts rather than the mechanics of solutions, and researchers can develop more sophisticated algorithms or models. |

Maple 12 and MapleSim for Controls Engineering Education
Thursday, January 15, 2009 2:00 pm EST.
This webinar will, by the use of introductory and more complex examples, demonstrate how Maplesoft’s products can be used when teaching and learning controls engineering concepts. The concepts will be demonstrated using MapleSim, a new high-performance multi-domain modeling and simulation tool, as well as with Maple 12 and its new Dynamic Systems package, which offers a large selection of analytic and graphing tools for linear time-invariant systems, essential in control systems development. |

MapleSim For Engineering Education: Innovations in Analysis, Design and Simulation
Tuesday, January 20, 2009 2:00 pm EST.
MapleSim is a modeling and simulation software that derives numerically efficient models of complex systems using an intuitive block-diagram approach to defining system models. MapleSim offers significant reduction in model development time and runtime performance from traditional systems. Distinct from traditional math and simulation software, MapleSim offers automatic derivation of model equations for more effective and engaging virtual simulations and exercises, dramatically more efficient models for real time simulations in research, and direct application to the emerging modeling problems in industry. |

Clickable Calculus: Pre-Calculus, and Calculus of One and Several Variables
Wednesday, January 21, 2009 2:00pm EST.
Join Dr. Robert Lopez as he explores Maple 12’s remarkable set of user-interface features that makes common mathematical operations as easy as pointing and clicking. In this session, Dr. Lopez will solve a spectrum of standard (and not-so-standard) problems drawn from Pre-Calculus, and Calculus of one and several variables.

A Fresh Look At Symbolic and Numeric Computation
Wednesday, January 28, 2009 2:00 pm EST.
What is the modern definition of symbolic computing? What are the critical differences between symbolic and numeric computation? How can respective advantages be exploited to solve more complex problems? What is the future of symbolic and numeric computations? This Webinar explores these and other issues that comprise the very heart of mathematical computing technology. Although Maplesoft is renowned for its symbolic capabilities, it has made major contributions to the evolution of numeric computations as well. The presenter, Dr. Tom Lee, is Maplesoft’s Chief Evangelist. He has been with Maplesoft since 1989. |
