In Maple 2026, we are expanding our commitment to leverage AI in meaningful and practical ways that increase your productivity while preserving the accuracy of your mathematical computations. New in Maple 2026, you can use AI directly or indirectly to:

• Boost productivity with the new AI Assistant. Your personal AI Assistant will help you do unfamiliar or complex tasks in Maple in a fraction of the time. Here are some examples of the kinds of help you can ask for:
  
  
  • Give me the command for solving a system of linear equations
  • Provide the Maple code to plot a parametric spiral
  • Generate a short explanation of eigenvalues for students in an introductory linear algebra class
  • Show the Taylor series of sin(x) to order 5, and give me the Maple command that does this
  • Write a procedure to apply the trapezoid rule to approximate an integral
  • Generate a document that presents five practice questions on differentiation using the chain rule, and starts with a worked example
  • How can I improve the explanation of combinations vs permutations in the current document?


• Bring your documents into Maple. Turn your PDFs, printed course notes, hand-written scribbles and other documents into Maple documents where the math is live.
• Make your external AI math-smart. Plug Maple into your favorite LLM and tell it to leave the math to the experts.
• Power your own explorations and applications that call on AI using the enhanced Natural Language package.

With Maple 2026, you can solve even more math problems, faster. This release provides new, cutting-edge algorithms that find solutions to new classes of problems, and enhances core routines that are used regularly both by customers and by other Maple commands.

In addition to the mathematical improvements described in detail elsewhere, here are some highlights:

• The assume facility, including the commands assume, is and coulditbe, underpins logical inference across simplification, equation solving, property testing, and many internal algorithms. Maple 2026 includes substantial improvements to its robustness, correctness, and scope of reasoning.
• Improvements to simplify expand its ability to produce more compact, mathematically natural forms across trigonometric, logarithmic, and radical expressions.
• Enhancements to combine strengthen its ability to return more compact, mathematically natural forms, especially in expressions involving inverse trigonometric functions and logarithms.
• Numerous improvements to dsolve, pdsolve, odetest, and related routines improve robustness, correctness, and compactness of returned solutions across a range of ordinary and partial differential equations.
• The SumTools package includes new access functions for working with unevaluated and inert sums.
• The fsolve command now accepts the option maxinit to give you control over the number of initial points to be attempted using the Newton solver for multivariate problems, and the default value has been increased to increase the likelihood of locating solutions without requiring manual adjustment.

Maple 2026 significantly expands its ability to solve linear recurrence relations. Maple can now fully solve over 94% of the 55,979 entries in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) that that can be shown to satisfy a linear recurrence relation.

The OEIS is a widely used research database of integer sequences arising in combinatorics, number theory, special functions, and applied mathematics. Achieving this level of coverage represents a major step forward in symbolic recurrence solving.

These advances reflect sustained, cutting-edge research in linear difference equations and their algorithmic implementation in Maple. Through major extensions to the LREtools package and substantial enhancements to rsolve, Maple now solves broad new classes of homogeneous and inhomogeneous recurrences, including many second-, third-, and fourth-order cases that were previously beyond reach.

Maple’s recurrence-solving capability now spans a substantially broader class of linear recurrences than other available systems. While some systems can solve isolated third- or fourth-order cases, Maple provides systematic coverage of higher-order recurrences at a level not available elsewhere.

Maple 2026 introduces enhanced support for reusable plotting styles through a new theme option. Maple has long provided extensive control over plotting options, but achieving a custom visual style typically requires specifying multiple settings. The new theme mechanism allows commonly used combinations of options to be bundled and reused, simplifying the creation of consistently formatted visualizations.

With themes, you can define the look you want once and apply it across multiple plots with a single option. This makes it easier to maintain visual consistency in worksheets, teaching materials, reports, and publications, while still allowing individual plot options to be overridden when needed.

Maple 2026 includes several built-in themes, which can be examined and customized, or you can easily create your own.

Maple 2026 strengthens its support for teaching and learning mathematics with enhanced tools that help students develop their understanding through feedback, practice, and guided solutions.

• Maple’s Practice and Feedback commands analyze a student’s worked solution and provide feedback on each step, not just the final result. Maple 2026 improves the underlying algorithms to recognize more problem types and interpret student reasoning more accurately.
• The Try Another facility, which generates problems with similar characteristics to the original question, has been further strengthened to identify and reproduce more characteristics in the original expression, such as a common factor in the coefficients of a polynomial or nested trigonometric functions
• Step-by-step solutions to standard mathematics problems have been further strengthened, handling even more solve and simplification problems, and improving the results of factoring problems.

Maple users have access to the same powerful programming language that much of the Maple math library itself is written in. Some of the programming language updates in Maple 2026 include:

• You can now create a vector database, or vector store, using the VectorSearch package.
• Maple 2026 introduces a new type, variable, which is particularly useful in combination with indets or subsindets when extracting variables from an expression.
• A new command, FileTools:-SuggestName, helps generate data file names when you want to keep the various iterations of computed data in the same directory through multiple runs.
• The type coercion mechanism, which gives an easy way for a procedure to automatically accept many data structures while only having to deal with one in your code, now provides more detailed error messages to the user so it is easier for them to call your procedure correctly.

Performance improvements in Maple 2026 include:

• Performance of calculations involving quantities with units has been greatly improved in Maple 2026, especially in comparisons, piecewise, and core operations.
• Hardware float vector initialization has been further optimized.
• Solving some polynomial systems is faster due to a new sub-algorithm in Groebner[RationalUnivariateRepresentation]. This command, which is called by higher level Maple commands, uses parallel computation and is considerably faster for large systems.
