Home page for MM92, Maple, Fall 2004


This page will gradually contain more and more material related to the Maple course.

Official course description
http://www.maplesoft.com/ takes you to Maple's homepage

Time and place:
Lectures: Fridays 8:15  - 10 in U28 (start September 3)
Project assistance classes: Tuesdays  8:15  - 10, in IMADAs computer terminal room (both time and place subject to change).

Textbooks:

 One copy of Maple 9 - Getting Started Guide (MGS) and one copy of Maple 9 Learning Guide (MLG) can be found  on the Semester Loan Shelf in Matematisk Bibliotek. They can be  used in the library, but cannot be taken out of there.

For a while, my lectures will be more or less based on the above text MLG. In the first lecture, I'll  tell you how you can print MLGfrom IMADA's Linux machines.

For a short while, here are the relevant Post Script files mlg.a5.ps (~ 80 sheets, in A5 format, printed on both sides). It is also available as a pdf file, mlg.a5.pdf
Various other material can also be found there. Calculus - the Maple Way can be recommended if you want to attack (multivariable) calculus problems with Maple.
  
Maple:
Maple 9.5 is the newest version. A CD with Maple 9.5  is available in the University Bookstore at the ridiculously low price of 25 Kr. It can be installed under Windows or Linux.

In IMADA's computer terminal room, the Linux order to open Maple 9.5 is like this (with > as the prompt):
> xmaple

In the Faculty computer rooms (Netcafe Øst, or U26a), Maple 9.5 is available on the Windows based computers.

What will be in the course?
If you read Danish, you can get more of an impression of the course on the Maple home page, Fall 2003
It contains one or more Maple worksheets for each week of the course, but they - I'm sorry to say - are mostly in Danish.

This year's editions will appear here in two formats:
 Week 36:
