Synopsis
This accessible introduction to programming with Maple gives an overview of the most commonly-used commands and constructs. It summarizes basic material, highlights slippery points, and gives tips on programming. It also covers more subtle topics unique to Maple: option remember; the assume facility; the use of packages in Maple; evaluation rules; data structures; computation sequences; simplification; the solution of equations (including a section on Groebner bases); sequence acceleration; the Maple model of floating-point evaluation; operators; structured types; local, global and environmental variables; tracing and debugging.
