Have you ever wondered about the people behind the scenes at Maplesoft? What about the students who help design the products?

This week, we thought we’d introduce ourselves. We are some of the co-op students at Maplesoft, who in between studying believe that Math Matters.

I’ll go first. My name is Pleiades, I’m 21 and my pronouns are they/them. I am a product management intern at Maplesoft, working with Maple Learn and Maple Calculator. I'm not a math student, but my favorite thing about math is how expressive its language is. Mathematical equations and symbols can be used to express incredibly complex ideas, and even if you don't understand the sense, you can still read the "words". My favorite thing about working for Maplesoft is the flexibility. I have many different types of tasks, and I’m able to learn so many different things.

Keep reading, and find out more about my fellow students below!

Quality Assurance:

Hello, my name is Matilda (she/her)! I am 19 years old, studying physics and astronomy at the University of Waterloo. I am part of the QA team here at Maplesoft, working as a quality assurance analyst co-op. I find math fascinating as it is a broad field that can be challenging, but also invokes a lot of creativity. As I am a new addition at Maplesoft, I am excited to work with the various Maple products.  I am looking forward to meeting new students and individuals, and to help grow not only myself but the company further. 

My name is Kat, I’m 20 and my pronouns are she/her. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and rock climbing. I am a QA analyst at Maplesoft, mostly working on Maple 2023. I am a student at UW studying mathematical physics and I would like to also minor in astronomy/astrophysics. My favorite thing about math is the objectivity of it, how there is a set structure and logical solution to any problem. I especially like calculus and trigonometry. I’m excited to be at Maplesoft because I will be learning everything about Maple from the inside perspective, which is used in many 300 and 400-level applied math courses that I will be taking at UW. I also really like the office environment and my coworkers.

Development:

Hey, my name is Paul C, I am 22 years old, and I am working as a Web and Mobile developer with Steve Metzger for the next 4 months. At the University of Waterloo, I study Mathematical Physics, though, I love the Computational Mathematics courses I’ve taken at UWaterloo. As for the world of Mathematics, I have always been fond of how everything can be thoroughly proven through basic arguments and logic. I am very excited to be working at Maplesoft, as I have for a long time been intrigued as to how Maple, Symbolab, and WolframAlpha function. So, this position is finally giving me the opportunity to truly explore how such software is developed.

Sales:

My name is Robin, I’m 21 years old and my pronouns are he/him. I am currently working as a Business Operations Analyst at Maplesoft, working with the sales department. I am a candidate of Bachelors of Business Administration at Wilfrid Laurier University with a minor in Economics and a specialization in Finance. My favorite thing about math is how it is present everywhere. Numbers help us understand world and Math helps us understand the number. My favorite part about working at Maplesoft is the extremely positive culture that we work in. Rather than competing with other people in the department, sales team has a very healthy approach towards work and are always there to help out each other.

Content Creation:

My name is Nikolas (he/him), I’m 20 years old and I’m an undergraduate physics student at the University of Waterloo. I’m part of the math content team at Maplesoft, focussing on creating new content for Maple Learn. The thing I like most about math is that while it may be a very objective discipline, it still involves an incredible amount of creativity. My favourite part of working at Maplesoft is the chance to share what I’ve learned about physics and math through Maple Learn content.

Good morning, afternoon, or evening!  I'm Miles (age 23, he/him), and I'm a UW mathematics student majoring in combinatorics and optimization and minoring in biology.  This term at Maplesoft, I work in content development for Maple Learn, which involves creating examples for the Maple Learn Document Gallery, working on special requests for users, and more.  My favorite thing about math is the fact that it is the analytical backbone of so many other areas of research.  You may think of biological research as performing experiments or medical trials, but behind the scenes, data entry and analysis are key to finding valuable conclusions and discoveries.  Biology is my particular favorite, of course, but there are countless fields of study with these mathematical aspects.

I'm looking forward to expanding my skillset and repertoire of tasks at Maplesoft.  This is my second term working here; last term I got my bearings as a content developer and am looking forward to so much more.  More advanced documents and workshops/presentations are on the horizon! :D

Hello;

I am facing "Error, too many levels of recursion" in loops. kindly guide me. Thanks

Hello everyone. I took part in a project in which we had to solve problems with Maple 2015. The managers gave us a permanent license. However recently I had trouble on my computer and now Maple doesn't work anymore because it somehow lost the license. The project ended last year, so I can't really ask them anymore. Is there any way to get the license working again? I checked on the site but didn't found anything useful and I'd really need it for the final exam of the last year of high school...

Thanks in advance!

Hi, dear community,
I have a Maple package "rath" for finding the traveling wave solution of differential equations. But I am not able to loading in Maple 18. Please see this attached zip folder and need help in this regard.
Kind regard

How do I use to compute d(logS(t)) and use this to find the closed form solution of S(t)

Hi, I bought the linuix 64 installation, and prior to doing so I read that I would have two installations, and so I have proceeded to replace my windows OS on my computer of highest processing power, after a successful install on my laptop, however when I attempted to activate my second installation it returned the message that I have already used all of my activations. If worse comes to worse, I need to uninstall maple2020 on this laptop, . and use my one activationon the other machine. What do I do?

Hi!

Can someone help me with the kind of document I have to submit to prove my student status? 

Thank you!

i literally cant figure out how to pay money for this

Please may I know if you can offer ma student's discount ob the seleted version.

Thank you.

Fred.

I open a completely new document, type in a few simple expressions and get this weird complex number out. Can someone pleas help me fix this?

Determine the dimension of the system solution space: 

I am new to Maple.

As a student, how do I install Maple on my PC? 

I need it to solve PDEs and ODEs.

Many thanks for your kind reply.

Look I have actually purchased the software 3 time in total throughout my life, but i have no money at this point but i have a Linux OS now and i am enjoying learning how to use that, so i was wondering if there is a standard old verson that is open source and availble for a Linux install

I am trying to simplify the last expression, it has assumptions in it. The numerator is a negative of the denominator so I am trying to get 1, Please help.
