Maple V Mathematics Programming Guide is the fully updated language and programming reference for Maple V Release 5. It presents a detailed description of Maple V Release 5 - the latest release of the powerful, interactive computer algebra system used worldwide as a tool for problem-solving in mathematics, the sciences, engineering, and education. This manual describes the use of both numeric and symbolic expressions, the data types available, and the programming language statements in Maple. It shows how the system can be extended or customized through user defined routines and gives complete descriptions of the system's user interface and 2D and 3D graphics capabilities.

Maple V Mathematics Learning Guide is the fully revised introductory documentation for Maple V Release 5. It shows how to use Maple V as a calculator with instant access to hundreds of high-level math routines and as a programming language for more demanding or specialized tasks. Topics include the basic data types and statements in the Maple V language. The book serves as a tutorial introduction and explains the difference between numeric computation and symbolic computation, illustrating how both are used in Maple V Release 5. Extensive "how-to" examples are presented throughout the text to show how common types of calculations can be easily expressed in Maple. Graphics examples are used to illustrate the way in which 2D and 3D graphics can aid in understanding the behaviour of problems.

Maple V est un logiciel de calcul formel qui comporte non seulement un environnement interactif mais aussi un langage de programmation. Programmer avec Maple V est un ouvrage entierement nouveau qui presente les caracteristiques de ce langage de programmation. Apres une introduction aux principes generaux de la programmation, l'ouvrage presente les multiples possibilites des structures de donnees de Maple a travers des exemples varies allant de la simple evaluation mathematique a la realisation de programmes complexes. Les chapitres qui suivent sont consacres a des themes particuliers comme la description des structures de donnees utilisees par Maple pour elaborer des graphiques des entrees/sorties ou l'utilisation du debogueur."

Dieses Buch ist die deutschsprachige Ausgabe von "Maple V Mathematics Learning Guide," einem der beiden von Waterloo Maple Software herausgegebenen Handbucher zu dem neuen Release 4 des Computeralgebraprogramms Maple V. Das Buch ist als Einstieg in das Programm konzipiert und stellt insbesondere die neuen Eigenschaften von Release 4 heraus. Die Graphikmoglichkeiten von Maple bilden einen Schwerpunkt."
