Maple is one of the most popular general mathematical software systems in the world. It was originally designed and developed by Professor KeithGeddes and Professor GastonGnnot in 1980 as a cooperative scientific research project between the University of Waterloo in Canada and the University of ETHZurich in Switzerland. It enjoys a high reputation in the fields of mathematics and science, and is known as "mathematician's software". Compared with other mathematical software, Maple's advantage lies in its powerful symbolic calculation ability. Its main functions are:
(1) Solving Mathematical Problems
Maple provides more than 300 task templates and more than 4,000 mathematical functions to solve common mathematical problems, covering calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, geometry, group theory, number theory, graph theory, combination, operation, optimization, probability, statistics and many other fields, including error-free symbolic calculation, high-precision numerical calculation and two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawing. Function call is simple, and users can use calculators.
(2) generating scientific and technological documents
*.mw Maple documents can be combined with words, mathematical formulas, sounds, images and other contents to generate professional scientific and technological documents with multimedia effects. Documents can also contain interactive components, such as buttons, sliders and list boxes, where users can change parameters and recalculate results. Maple also provides editing commands such as panel design and spelling check, and users can use Maple just like text editing software.

(3) application development
Maple is an object-oriented high-level programming language with strict syntax. Maple provides optimized library functions for different hardware. Maple is also a graphical software development platform. Users can easily write and debug programs and generate their own function packages, thus expanding the functions of Maple. Rich online help documents and help systems are very popular with users.
(4) Auxiliary teaching tools
In view of the market of school education, Maple specially provides student function packages to help students learn mathematics courses by themselves and deepen their understanding of mathematical concepts. Its contents include various calculation methods used in physics, mathematics and chemistry in senior high schools, calculus and linear algebra used in universities, etc., which is convenient for teachers to help students participate in advanced physics competitions. It provides students with teaching AIDS after class, and teachers can also find better courseware from them for daily teaching.
