Symbolic Capabilities

• Maple's greatest utility is its ability to handle symbolic mathematics
• Simplification of expressions
  • numerics
    • simplify(4^(1/2) + 3);
  • algebra
    • f := (x^2-y^2)/(x+y);
    • simplify(f);
  • trigonometry
    • f := sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2;
    • simplify(f);
  • general manipulation
    • p := expand((x+y+z)^3);
    • collect(p,x);
