内容简介 With the assistance of L.F. Hoogerheide. Includes CD-ROM containing the Maple worksheets of the lessons.

This book introduces Maple in a rather special way; namely, it shows how a computer algebra system most naturally fits into a mathematically oriented work environment. The intended audience is the mixed group of mathematicians, econometricians, engineers and other scientists, principally those who in their chosen discipline need to work with mathematical ideas and techniques.

Unlike other introduction to computer algebra system, it instructs the reader about the use of Maple by posing problems of a strictly mathematical nature. The book is intended not as a mere introduction to Maple, but also to show how Maple -- and other computer algebra systems -- may enrich our knowledge and deepen our understanding of mathematics. In that respect it focuses on mathematics rather than on Maple, and in doing this it tries to convince scientists who are not naturally inclined to incorporate the computer into their daily work routine that a computer algebra system may very well enhance their theoretical work.
媒体推荐 "This book distinguishes itself... [the] reader learns how to use MAPLE? by posing problems of strictly mathematical nature, and—as a result—the reader gets insight into the practical and theoretical framework mathematics... Highly recommended." -Simulation News Europe
