Computing with Maple

Computing with MAPLE presents general programming principles using MAPLE as a concrete example of a programming language-the first book to do so. The author first addresses the basic MAPLE functions then moves to actual programming, discussing all of the programming facilities that MAPLE provides, including control structures, data types, graphics, spreadsheets, text processing, and object oriented programming. Reflecting MAPLEs primary function as a computational tool, the book emphasizes mathematical examples and includes a chapter devoted to algebraic programming. It also includes exercises and test questions, and supplementary material is available on the Internet.
