Welcome to the Adept Scientific Press Room

MapleNet 2.0 offers even more ways to create interactive online content.

Adept Scientific plc are pleased to announce the release of MapleNet(tm) 2.0, developed by Maplesoft(tm), the leading source of mathematical software for educators, researchers and professionals. This latest release of the web-based learning platform for mathematical and related courses supports the use of JavaServer Pages (JSP) for content creation, includes a graphical user interface for publishing new content, and takes full advantage of the enhancements of Maple(tm) 9.

New features in MapleNet 2.0 include:

*   Support for MapleNet JavaServer Pages (JSP). In addition to creating Java(tm) applets or Maplet(tm) applications, authors can create Maple-driven content by directly embedding special MapleNet JSP tags inside their HTML pages.

*   A graphical user interface to make it easier to create and publish jar files.

*   The integration of Maple 9, which gives the user access to all the latest mathematical functions of the most recent release of Maple, and provides support for interactive plots.

“MapleNet was first created in response to customer demand for interactive maths over the web”, says Darren McIntyre, Vice President of Business Development. “MapleNet 2.0 continues this tradition of responsiveness. For example, our customers asked for even more choices for content creation. The introduction of JSP tags in MapleNet 2.0 makes this product very flexible when it comes to authoring styles and preferences.”

About MapleNet

MapleNet provides educational institutions with a complete set of infrastructure and client tools for online education in mathematics and mathematics-dependent courses. MapleNet allows authors/professors to create exercises and learning objects that are interactive and easy to use. The student requires only a Java-enabled Web browser to interface with the material. MapleNet is derived from the legendary Maple software system, widely recognised as the most trusted desktop application for exploring mathematics and developing mathematical applications. Consequently, the scope of learning objects that can be created with MapleNet is virtually unlimited, as the Maple engine supports computation ranging from high-school level algebra to research-level theory.

MapleNet is available for a range of server platforms and popular browsers. Contact Adept Scientific plc, Amor Way, Letchworth, Herts.
