Maple 12
Scientifc Computing World, May 21, 2008
This release of Maple continues the process, evident for several generations now, of developing intuitive usability as well as power. The ride has settled down somewhat, after the initial fireworks, but is no less impressive for that.
The graphical document user interface continues to flower and enrich, blending productive tricks with home grown engineering. The prepackaged interactivity of ‘Explore’ allows quick and easy generation of visual links between outputs and inputs. New or enhanced interactive control objects extend the range of investigative or illustrative constructs which can be built. Command completion becomes more flexible, formatting more subtle and controllable, backed up by new predesigned templates. A start-up code region allows hidden auto-loading of objects, commands, used packages, or anything else, every time a document is opened to define the environment within which work is done in that document – a great time saver in many circumstances. For those who use the command line, there is an option on persistent history across sessions.
