Welcome to the Adept Scientific Press Room

A powerful and intuitive tool for solving complex mathematical problems and creating technical documents

Maplesoft™, the leading provider of high performance software tools for engineering, science and mathematics, and their UK partner Adept Scientific, announce a major release of Maple™, the renowned productivity tool for solving mathematical problems and creating interactive technical applications. Maple 10 has been developed to be intuitive and easy to use while providing the most advanced, complete and error-free set of mathematics capabilities available.

Maple 10 increases the productivity of engineers, scientists and researchers, while in the academic sector it provides teachers with a better environment for developing customized curriculum and lowers the learning curve for students. Users can easily solve complex mathematical problems while creating rich, executable technical documents that provide both the answer and the thinking behind their analysis.

“For the past 20 years, Maplesoft has harnessed the power of mathematics for both commercial and academic users, helping them solve complex problems,” said Jim Cooper, CEO of Maplesoft. “Maple 10 dramatically reduces the learning curve, changing maths from a chore to an enabling competitive advantage.”

Maple 10 seamlessly combines numeric and symbolic calculations, explorations, mathematical notation, documentation, buttons and sliders, and graphics and animations that can be shared and reused. Maple 10 enables users to convey information in a familiar way, such as a textbook or technical paper, and also as executable documents that provide final answers.

Among Maple 10′s many new features are new statistical functions; state-of-the-art differential equation solvers; significantly enhanced units and tolerances support; enhanced code generation that ensures any mathematical model can be automatically generate C, Fortran, Java, MATLAB or Visual Basic code; new built-in tools including a sophisticated equation editor, a graphing calculator and an integrated maths dictionary; and a whole raft of new interface enhancements and tools for knowledge capture. Full details of the new version are at http://maple.adeptscience.co.uk.

With global R&D spending in excess of $200 billion a year, corporate research labs, development teams and design departments are at the forefront of efforts to drive innovation and growth in commerce and industry. Maple 10 equips users in these environments with a single tool to perform advanced, error-free mathematics and to capture and share their analyses. As a result, users can share, update, validate and reuse critical research and design information, making it possible to learn from past projects, build on success and deliver better overall designs with lower costs.

By shifting the emphasis from creating maths to making it more accessible and easy to use, Maple 10 helps ensure the best engineering designs and scientific models are achieved quickly and easily using mathematically optimized solutions. The product delivers the most powerful maths capabilities on the market, developed and tested over the last 25 years and supported by a host of new tools that make it faster and easier to put complex maths into action.

Maple 10 is also the ideal analytical companion for academic researchers. The software enables users to eliminate algebraic, derivation and unit errors; expand the scope of research; and quickly and easily validate results and derivations.

Maple has been the most popular mathematics education software in Universities and other higher education establishments for many years. Now Maple 10 makes it even easier for teachers to deliver dynamic course content and illustrate even the most difficult concepts. Mathematics, engineering and science tutors can engage students like never before by using Maple 10 to offer interactive demonstrations and explorations, as well as to prepare lecture material, handouts and exercises.

Furthermore, Maple 10 improves student comprehension levels and scholastic performance by providing the ability to illustrate mathematical concepts, visualize problems and illuminate theory. Moreover, since companies and institutions around the world rely on Maplesoft to solve engineering and scientific problems, using Maple 10 in their studies is a terrific way for students to get a head start in their careers.
