Company Profile
Over 20 years old: started as a research
project at University of Waterloo in 1980
becoming a corporation in 1988.
Maplesoft™ - leading provider of
high-performance software tools for
engineering, science and mathematics.
Maple introduced a revolutionary change
with its ‘Technical Document Interface’.
This introduced a new way of working.
Maple 13 expands in this direction, taking
advanced computation to a whole new
level of power and accessibility.

Maple: An Essential Tool
“Maple empowers students to explore the behavior
of functions as they vary constants and parameters.
When students come to the course, they have weak
notions of functions and equations. Maple helps them
investigate the math and get a better understanding
not just of the results but the process as well.”
Professor Roger Kraft , Purdue University Calumet
Classroom instruction, cuttingedge academic research, testing
and assessment
Creates clearer, more concise,
and readily shareable
documents for mathematical
investigation and instruction

Predator-Prey Relationship Study
A study in developing sophisticated population and
interaction models for the study of complex, interdependent relationships in nature.
Mandelbrot Mania with Maple
A basic plot of the Mandelbrot set can be produced by
marking a point black if it’s within the set, or white if
it’s outside the set.
