Maple 2015 Focuses on Access, Analysis & Visualization

Enhanced clickable math tools in Maple 2015.

The engineering team at Maplesoft recently released Maple 2015. The Mathematical computing software is frequently used in research, education, mathematics, sciences and engineering. The latest release focuses on application development, statistics, education, analysis and more.

“Because Maple combines an extremely powerful mathematics engine with an interface that makes it easy to analyze, explore, visualize, and solve mathematical problems, Maple is the ideal tool for both the academic world and industry,” says Dr. Laurent Bernardin, Executive VP & Chief Scientist at Maplesoft.

Those working with large data sets will be happy to see a new infrastructure for working with the numbers. Users will be able to access data on everything from demographics to economics within the Maple framework. If the data isn’t built into Maple then it can be accessed through Quandl, which supplies curated data from various sources. All of this data can then be searched, downloaded and used within your Maple calculations.

 “With Maple 2015, the new facilities for handling data sets make it even easier to use Maple to examine important global trends and make sense of the reams of data that surround us,” said Bernardin.

He added, “Maple helps educators, students, scientists, engineers, and researchers get their work done quickly and reliably, and the new and enhanced features in this new release make this easier than ever.”

Other improvements to Maple 2015 include:

  • Application development: one step app production, improved microphone and speaker components, programmatic content creation
  • Mathematics: integration, differential equations, group theory, physics, iterative maps
  • Clickable Math Tools: 60 new interactive apps in physics, math, statistics and chemistry
  • Statistics education: tutors, apps
  • Online sharing of documents and applications with MapleCloud in web browsers
