New generation of math software from Maplesoft
Google Tech Talks
September, 11 2007
ABSTRACT
The name Maple is synonymous with doing complex math on computers. Best known for its symbolic or algebraic computation abilities, Maple is one of the most important tools for the modern applied mathematician and scientist. Many of you are likely familiar with Maple from college but you’ve probably not kept up to date with latest developments. This presentation will present some of the latest product developments from Maplesoft. Topics include
- developments in high performance numerical computation
- recent advances in symbolic computing
- new Maple libraries including graph theory, statistics, optimization, polynomial operations, and more
- parallel and grid computing
- knowledge capture for mathematical documents
- the Maple programming language and application development
- overview of new add-on products including global optimization, and modeling and simulation
The presenter will be Mohamed Bendame, a senior engineer from Maplesoft. The presentations will include an open Q session.
This talk will be taped by the engEDU Tech Talks Team.
Speaker: Mohamed Bendame

I went through a …
I went through a program that covered Calc 1,2,3 and part of DE1 during the summer … used maple probably 12 hours a day and found it to be somewhat buggy (it had problems saving extremely large files, and it is often tricky to get the output in the correct form). However, we were using a very new version (probably not even on the market at that time) and I think most of the problems have since been fixed. Some people just simply get frustrated by maple though :\

Maple is definitly better if you want to do symbolic maniuplation, but I usually always end up working with matlab at work.

If you lack talent, …
… though that will usually only go so far. Most software engineering does not require what I would concider a strong math abilitiy though, but it could be hard to get through an engineering school depending upon just how bad your math is.
If you lack talent, then you just need a lot of practice

Maple and Matlab …
Maple and Matlab are used for different things. Making a long story short, the former is a symbolic engine and the latter is a numerical engine. They are used for different things, although they interface readily. Both great tools, I use both readily.

Maple is very good …
Maple is very good (better than matlab IMHO), but I always try not to use it too much – it’s fine whan a university/company pays for it – but python with numpy etc is free, and just as powerful.

I have Maple 11, and I tried that solving of a million element matrix, and it didn’t come close. Just kept working…
Is this a scam?
