Product Description

Product Description

Powerful, flexible, easy to use-small wonder that the use of MAPLE® continues to increase, particularly since the latest releases of MAPLE. The built-in nature of its numerical and graphical facilities gives MAPLE a distinct advantage over traditional programming languages, yet to date, no textbook has used that advantage to introduce programming concepts. Moreover, few books based on MAPLE's latest versions even exist.

Computing with MAPLE presents general programming principles using MAPLE as a concrete example of a programming language. The author first addresses the basic MAPLE functions accessible for interactive use then moves to actual programming, discussing all of the programming facilities that MAPLE provides, including control structures, data types, graphics, spreadsheets, text processing, and object oriented programming. Reflecting MAPLE's primary function as a computational tool, the book's emphasis is on mathematical examples, and it includes a full chapter devoted to algebraic programming.

Classroom tested since 1995, the material in Computing with MAPLE is particularly appropriate for an intermediate-level introductory course in programming for both mathematics and computing students. It includes numerous exercises and test questions, with MAPLE worksheets, contact information, and supplementary material available on the Internet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Language Guide For Maple, 24 May 2005
By David R. Kent - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Computing with Maple (Chapman Hall/CRC Mathematics Series) (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. It is similar to a language guide for a standard programming language. All of the language constructs are covered. It is not a bunch of very simple examples constructed for an undergraduate math, engineering, or physics class. If you do anything serious with Maple, this book will be very useful for you. I have found no other similar books.

4.0 out of 5 stars learn programming with Maple?!, 24 Dec 2004
By W Boudville - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Computing with Maple (Chapman Hall/CRC Mathematics Series) (Paperback)
An intriguing, unorthodox approach to teaching programming. Wright uses Maple, a well known symbolic math package that has been around for over 10 years. He takes a recent version and uses it in the book as a programming language in its own right. We see descriptions of all the standard commands in any such language - if-else, loops etc. Logically complete as a computational language.

With the added bonus of teaching symbolic algebra.
