Physics in Maple 16
Maple 16 provides the most significant evolution of the Physics package since its introduction in Maple 11, underscoring Maple's goal of having a state-of-the-art environment for algebraic computations in physics. The Physics package in Maple 16 includes 17 new commands that extend its functionality in vector and tensor analysis, general relativity, and quantum fields. In addition, a vast number of changes were introduced to support the goal of making the computational experience as natural as possible, resembling the paper-and-pencil way of doing computations and providing textbook-quality display of results. This application illustrates some of the new features in the Physics package.
