It’s Mainly About the Math: Introducing Maple 2019 for Education and Research

Length: 28 Minutes
Presenter: Daniel Skoog
Product: Maple

Maple can do an awful lot of things, but when it comes down to it, it’s all about the math. Maple 2019 brings you even more, even stronger mathematical capabilities, from enhancements to the core routines you use every day, to specialized tools that open up new areas of research. But that&r...

This webinar offers a quick and easy way to learn some of the fundamental concepts for using Maple.

Essentials of Tensor Calculus - Part 5

Length: 51 Minutes
Presenter: Dr. Robert Lopez
Product: Maple

In the final webinar of this series, we’ll explain the covariant derivative. We’ll finish a presentation on surface curvature in which we'll make the connection between the Riemann curvature tensor and the curvature of a surface where the terms "principal curvatures" and "total (or Gauss...

Exploring Engineering Fundamentals - Part 3: Introduction to Control Systems

Length: 28 Minutes
Presenter: Charlotte Blinston

Engineering Fundamentals is designed to encourage students to explore and prepares them with a solid foundation in fundamental principles and physical laws. By gaining problem solving skills and an understanding of the basics, students are on their way to becoming analytical, detail-oriented, and cr...

Essentials of Tensor Calculus - Part 4

Length: 54 Minutes
Presenter: Dr. Robert Lopez
Product: Maple

In the fourth webinar of this series, we’re discussing tensor calculus itself. Since the essence of differential calculus is a study of how infinitesimal changes affect scalar functions, extending this study to vectors and tensors leads to the Christoffel symbols (connection coefficients) that...

Essentials of Tensor Calculus - Part 2

Length: 42 Minutes
Presenter: Dr. Robert Lopez
Product: Maple

In the second installment of the Essentials of Tensor Calculus series, Dr. Robert Lopez will explain reciprocal vectors and show that bases of tangents and gradients are reciprocal. This is important because these distinctions underpin the difference between contravariance and covariance. The transi...
