Maple 8: What's New

Maple® 8 lets you reinvent the Maple® graphical interface through
a new built-in technology called Maplets™.

The Reinvention of The Maple® Graphical Interface

Make Maple easier to use – your way
With the Maplets™ package, you can create your own graphical user interfaces to Maple. Maplets give users access to your Maple applications through buttons, text areas, menus, and other graphical elements that you specify. Your Maple code recedes safely into the background, sparing users from having to understand its syntax or enter Maple commands.

Hands-on tutorials for students
The Maplets package provides a natural medium for creating tutorials for math and science classes. For example, you can use maplets to create interactive tutorials on the e-d definition of a limit, the Doppler effect, or the iterations of a fractal. The only boundary is your imagination.

Interactive Plot Builder
You can create plots through a built-in maplet that prompts you for all relevant plotting options in text areas and menus. No more remembering plot commands and their plethora of options!
