The tools represented in the Library
increase the range and efficiency of use of Maple on Windows
platform owing to innovations in three basic directions: (1)
elimination of a series of basic defects and shortcomings, (2) extending
of capabilities of a series of standard tools, and (3) adding of
Maple by new tools increasing the features of its software environment,
including tools improving the compatibility level of releases 6 - 9.
The Library is designed for a
wide audience of experts, teachers, post-graduates and students of natural-science
professions who use Maple of releases 6 - 9 on Windows
platform in their own professional work. The Library
contains well-designed software (a set of more than 575
procedures and modules), which well sup-plements the already available Maple software with orientation towards the widest
circle of the Maple users, greatly
enhancing its usability and effectiveness. Our experience reveals that the use
of the Library essentially extends
opportunities of Maple of releases 6 - 9, simplifying the programming of various practical
problems.
This Library will present
special interest above all for those who use Maple
not only as a highly intellectual calculator but also as a programming
environment for different problems for which the more advanced basic means are
desirable. Above all, the means have regard to basic Maple
objects (lists, arrays, strings, tables, procedures,
modules, etc.), to an enhancing and improving of the standard Maple
tools, an access to datafiles, and many others.
All library tools can be viewed and modified by users.
Therefore, it is useful to learn the Maple
programming language so that you can modify existing Maple
code to produce customized means. Source codes of the Library
tools introduce the reader into both effective and non-standard programming
technique in the Maple, better revealing
subtleties of the Maple programming language.
