MSW 2003 - Maple Summer Workshop

July 13th - 15th
Wilfrid Laurier University
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Dear MSW Attendee, We invite you to experience a community second to none...

Maple is more than a product ­ it’s a community, and the Maple Summer Workshop is a wonderful opportunity to meet some of its most active and passionate members. Unlike many technical conferences, MSW draws a diversity of backgrounds and interests that ensure lively, and stimulating meetings. Add to this mix a healthy dose of well-designed, hands-on training and you have the makings of a highly productive and engaging three days.

This year, in addition to traditionally popular themes such as education, applied research, and physical science, we have also included the theme of e-learning. The delivery of knowledge online is quickly becoming one of the most important trends in education today. The MSW program will offer a range of opportunities for you to learn how your peers and Maplesoft are addressing the challenges of this exciting new world. Part of the focus will be new Maple initiatives such as MapleNet for Web-based math education, and Maple T.A. for automatic testing and assessment.

MSW 2003 is shaping up to be a very rich and dynamic meeting. I invite all of you to join us at Wilfrid Laurier University and to experience the best of Maple.
