Maple Examples for Math 405

Maple is not required for the course. You can use Matlab instead. But, I cannot offer you much assistance with Matlab. Maple tends to be more user friendly, while Matlab is faster with numerical work and is used more widely in Engineering firms.

Disclaimer: I am still revising these worksheets and hope to add some additional ones. Most of these were made using older versions of Maple, so you may need to make some minor changes and there may be easier ways to do some of what is done below. If you figure out a better way, let me know!
