Chalmers University of Technology adopts Maple T.A. campus-wide for 15,000 students and staff

Maplesoft — Tue, 21 May 2013 04:00:00 Z

Since 2008, The Department of Mathematical Sciences, a joint department between Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, has been using Maple T.A. to deliver, administer and grade mathematics courses. What started as a tool to deploy online summer courses turned into a technology to teach and grade parts of several mathematics courses year round. The benefit of using Maple T.A. was so evident that the university recently adopted Maple T.A for all 15,000 of its students and staff.

Maple helps Discover Mathematics-based Gömböc Shape

Scientific Computing and Instrumentation — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 04:00:00 Z

“The invention of Gömböc is the culmination of a long process of mathematical research and Maple, the mathematical computation engine from Maplesoft, played an important role in its discovery. The yet-undiscovered shape was known to be a convex mono-monostatic object — a three-dimensional object, which because of its geometry had only one possible way to balance upright. Domokos and Várkonyi identified a two-parameter family of objects, all of which had the desired mono-monostatic property. However, not all of them were convex. Maple was used to identify the convex shapes and thus prove the existence of the shape. The process involved a large amount of complex, precise mathematical computation, and Maple’s symbolic computation power made it possible.”

Maplesoft: MapleSim per il movimento di sistemi ottici complessi

ILB2B — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 04:00:00 Z

“MapleSim ha offerto un modo per dedurre il posizionamento e l´orientamento effettivi di queste montature cinematiche a sei montanti in funzione dei motori che ne controllano i movimenti. Una comprensione più realistica del funzionamento del sistema a sei assi è utile per l´allineamento del fascio ottico ed il miglioramento delle prestazioni. L´obiettivo finale del team della Canadian Light Source è creare un sistema di tracciamento in tempo reale dei raggi x, che utilizza il sistema di controllo del fascio di luce per accedere alle posizioni dei componenti ottici e inviarle quindi come input a un programma di tracciamento dei raggi x. Il modello MapleSim è stato costruito utilizzando palette specifiche come i blocchi di segnali o i componenti multi-body.”

“Performance has also been enhanced with improvements to frequently called routines and algorithms as well as in the low-level infrastructure of memory management, according to Maplesoft. By way of an example, the company cites a new memory manager that takes advantage of multiple processors. This, says Maplesoft, allows computations to run 10% faster on average, with memory-intensive computations running up to 50% faster.”

Develop Highly Efficient Models for Multi-Body Systems

Design News — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 04:00:00 Z

“With an acausal modeling tool, such as MapleSim, each modeling block is a discrete physical component, such as a spring or a mechanical joint. Each block maps directly to a physical component in your system, effectively eliminating the need to derive and manipulate equations by hand, and resulting in a model diagram that's more visually representative of the real system. This is possible because the associated physical laws are already embedded with the component.”

Un professeur d’ingénierie utilise Maple pour introduire des méthodes d’enseignement plus exploratoires

Recherche Developpement — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 04:00:00 Z

“Le Dr James Andrew Smith, professeur d’ingénierie électrique et biomédicale à l’Université Ryerson de Toronto, n’est pas peu fier des modifications expérimentales qu’il a apportées en cours à sa démarche pédagogique. Il a introduit des outils et méthodes grâce auxquels les étudiants acquièrent des connaissances par effet d’interaction, explorent mieux le sujet et peuvent en approfondir la compréhension. C’est ce qu’il appelle une « approche inductive » de l’enseignement, préférable à « l’approche déductive » habituelle. Il considère MapleSim, le logiciel de modélisation et simulation au niveau système, comme un outil majeur d’apprentissage inductif, très différent des outils d’apprentissage déductif.”
