Introduction
Maple is a symbolic math package produced by Waterloo. It is available for free on the UNIX systems and can be started by typing xmaple at the command line. Maple 11 is available to faculty and staff for $5 - the cost of the CD - while Maple 10 is available for students at a cost of $15 ($5 for the CD and $10 for the license).
Maple Modes
There are two different ways Maple creates documents - worksheet mode and document mode. The information and screenshots below are presented assuming worksheet mode.
