I'm excited to share some valuable resources that I've found incredibly helpful for anyone looking to enhance their Maple skills. Whether you're just starting, studying as a student, or are a seasoned professional, these guides and books offer a wealth of information to aid your learning journey.

Exploring Discrete Mathematics With Maple

These materials are freely available and can be a great addition to your learning resources. They cover a wide range of topics and are designed to help users at all levels improve their Maple proficiency.

Happy learning and I hope you find these resources as useful as I have!

I know maple help has exercies where you can learn from. I was, however, wondering if there is a standard place where people upload their specialized worksheets and maple documents they have used for research once they make it public.

Who else likes art?  I love art; doodling in my notebook between projects and classes is a great way to pass the time and keep my creativity sharp.  However, when I’m working in Maple Learn, I don’t need to get out my book; I can use the plot window as my canvas and get my drawing fix right then and there.

We’ve done a few blog posts on Maple Learn art, and we’re back at it again in even bigger and better ways.  Maple Learn’s recent update added some useful features that can be incorporated into art, including the ability to resize the plot window and animate using automatically-changing variables.

Even with all the previous posts, you may be thinking, “What’s all this?  How am I supposed to make art in a piece of math software?”  Well, there is a lot of beauty to mathematics.  Consider beautiful patterns and fractals, equations that produce surprisingly aesthetically interesting outputs, and the general use of mathematics to create technical art.  In Maple Learn, you don’t have to get that advanced (heck, unless you want to).  Art can be created by combining basic shapes and functions into any image you can imagine.  All of the images below were created in Maple Learn!

There are many ways you can harness artistic power in Maple Learn.  Here are the resources I recommend to get you started.

1. I’ve recently made some YouTube videos (see the first one below) that provide a tutorial for Maple Learn art.  This series is less than 30 minutes in total, and covers - in three respective parts - the basics, some more advanced Learn techniques, and a full walkthrough of how I make my own art.
2. Check out the Maple Learn document gallery art collection for some inspiration, the how-to documents for additional help, and the rest of the gallery to see even more Maple Learn in action!

Once you’re having fun and making art, consider submitting your art to the Maple Conference 2022 Maple Learn Art Showcase.  The due date for submission is October 14, 2022.  The Conference itself is on November 2-3, and is a free virtual event filled with presentations, discussions, and more.  Check it out!

I am brand new to Maple, both as a specific program and as an example of symbolic mathematical software (although years ago I spent some time with MathCad).

I am interested in referrals to online resources which can help me progress down the learning curve. I have a substantial background in application computer programming, mostly in C#.

So if there's such a thing as "Maple for Programmers" that might be ideal...particularly since I find Maple's syntax and semantics to be "just similar enough" to coding that it causes me a lot of frustration. As in, simply entering the examples from the online manual Just Doesn't Work :).

Thanx!

I was asked if I would put together a list of top resources to help students who are using Maple for the first time.  An awful lot of students will be cracking Maple open in the next few weeks (the ones who are keeping up with their assignments, at least – for others, it sometimes takes little longer :-), so it seemed like a good idea.

So then I had to decide what to do. I know Top N lists are very popular (Ten Things that Will Shock You about Your Math Software!), and there are tons of Maple training resources available to fill such a list without any difficulties.  But personally, I don’t always like Top N lists. What are the chances that there are exactly N things you need to know, for nice values of N? And how often you are really interested in all N items? I just want to get straight to the points I care about.

I decided I’d try a matrix. So here you go: a mini “choose your own adventure” guide for getting to know Maple.  Pick the row that corresponds to what you want to do, and the column for how you want to do it.  All on a single, page, and ad-free!

And best of luck for the new school year.

Is there any webpage like Wolfram Library Archive but with Maple related resources? I've missed something or everything goes to mapleprimes? 

There are quite a few useful resources, like TAs and documents in the startup page, however, I can only access them by clicking the links. Where are those files located on the disk? (Mac OSX)

Dear all,

I'm currently facing the following problem. I am trying to solve an expression for 4 variables: Fe11, Fe12, Fe21, Fe22. Actually these variables come from a 'deformation gradient tensor' Fe that is used in continuum mechanics.  This tensor actually appears in two equations in tensor-form. Since these tensorial equations contains 'inverse' and 'transpose' operators, the only thing I could think of to solve for a particular tensor (Fe), is to do this component-wise....
