Practice using Maple, and read about Maple in the handouts
``Maple quick reference'' and ``Using Maple Effectively'' (in "To the
Student").
A good way to learn Maple through practice is by working through the
Maple Tutorial in
/home/herman/215.02/Mapletutorial.mws. Read the short introduction,
then work systematically through the
first few sections. Sections 1-3 are most pertinent.
Work through Sections 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 in VLA. Section 1.1 is a
pencil-and-paper tutorial; the other two are Maple tutorials.
In class on Friday, September 5, turn in solutions to the following
Problems:
1.1 Pencil and Paper Problems 2, 11, 14, 17, 20, 21.
1.2 Maple Problems 1, 3, 4, 6, 7.
1.3 Maple Problems 1, 4, 5, 6, 7.
