ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a quick review of some basic Maple commands. Maple is an example of a Computer Algebra System. It is composed of thousands of commands, to execute operations in algebra, calculus, differential equations, discrete mathematics, geometry, linear algebra, numerical analysis, linear programming, statistics, and graphing. The Maple help database can provide all the information found in the Maple Library Reference Manual. The Maple system is easy to learn and can be applied in many mathematical applications. Maple syntax uses either a semicolon or a colon to end a statement. Multiple statements may be on the same line, but each must have its own colon or semicolon. There is a large set of commands either readily available in Maple memory or stored separately in Maple packages, which assist in more efficient memory storage. Maple 2019 and higher is different from previous versions of Maple.
