notes
“Waterloo, Canada; 28 April 2009: Today, Maplesoft announced new releases of its core
products MapleSim, the high-performance, multi-domain modeling and simulation tool,
and Maple, the technical computing software for mathematicians, engineers, and
scientists.
These products are based on Maplesoft’s core technologies, including the world’s most advanced symbolic computation engine and revolutionary physical modeling techniques. Together, they provide a platform where students can work confidently with everything from theoretical concepts to the subtleties and art of design. ”
“Maple 13 includes completely new 3-D plotting facilities, powerful new learning and problem-solving tools, and additional resources to enable users to find answers to questions quickly. New plotting facilities include extensive annotation tools and fly-through animations, making 3-D plots more meaningful and easier to interpret.
New tools, such as tutors for complex variables and numerical analysis, point-and-click access to control systems design tools, and enhanced step-by-step problem solvers for calculus, help students explore, visualize, and understand mathematical concepts. Maple 13’s leading-edge solvers include revolutionary techniques for finding solutions to differential equations that are beyond the scope of standard methods. ”
“Maple 13 introduces a new task-based programming model that greatly simplifies the development of multithreaded programs.”
“Key new and improved features in Maple 13:
- Maple Portal for Engineers
- Fly-through animations
- Plot annotation support
- Context-sensitive menus for control system development
- CAD connectivity support
- Step-by-step tutorials
- Complex Variables Tutors
- Equation Manipulator assistant ”
“Math
– Differential Equations Revolutionary techniques for finding solutions to differential
equations that are beyond the scope of standard methods. It greatly extended the
event-handling abilities for numeric solutions and enhanced the abilities and performance
of the high-index DAE solvers.
- Polynomial system solving Extensions to the polynomial systems and root-finding algorithms in Maple 13 provided another approach to determining the parameter conditions under which specified types of solutions exist. This ability is particularly useful in designing control systems.
– Graph Theory The GraphTheory package contains new tools for analyzing and visualizing graphs and their properties, as well as new algorithms, predefined graphs, and more. Vector Calculus Task Templates Vector Calculus Task Template enhancements provided new templates and improved notation support to make these notationally challenging problems easier to set up and the results easier to interpret. ”
“Maple 13 includes completely new 3D plot facilities, which are faster and use less memory. Another nice benefit is you can now annotate 3-D plots just like you do 2-D plots, including proper math notation in titles and labels, tickmarks in multiples of pi, and arrows.
You can also create fly-through animations, which zoom a virtual camera around your 3-D plots. Weve put a few examples on our website
Writing multithreaded applications is now a whole lot easier using a new task-based programming model. You no longer have to worry about synchronization tools Maple handles that part. For example, heres an interactive Mandelbrot application that uses the task-based model to automatically distributes the calculations to all available processors.
And the in small-but-useful category, Maple 13 now includes an Export to PDF option. ”
