Getting Started with Maple

• Starting up Maple
  • At a Unix prompt (here “%>“—don’t type it):
    %> eng xmaple
    
  • Place the window, and you’re ready to go.
  • On a Mac or PC, start by double-clicking the Maple icon.
  • You should get a window similar to that seen on the Unix system
• Basic syntax
  • terminate all commands (which may span several lines) with a semicolon (;) or colon (:) (colon suppresses response from Maple)
  • note that Maple is case-sensitive (> is prompt)
    • diff() not the same as >Diff()
  • On-line help
    • help browser in upper-right corner of window
    • ?command
