|
|
used by mathematicians, engineers, and scientists for teaching and
|
|
research. Maple V lets you perform a wide range of symbolic and numeric
|
|
computations quickly and accurately. It includes more than 2500 built-in
|
|
math functions, 2D and 3D graphics, animation, and more. New features
|
|
in Release 4 include outlining, styles, and hyperlinking, typeset math
|
|
notation in input, output, and text, full text search of Help Database
|
|
and new computational and plotting facilities.
