Maple T.A. Server

The Maple T.A. server consists of 3 major components:

Maple T.A. Server
Handles all web transactions, including creating and displaying pages and capturing student responses. Manages updating of student records, question banks, assignments, and passwords. Keeps track of which instance of each test the student wrote, when assignments are available, class sharing, and more.

Maple Router
Handles the communication between the server and Maple.

Maple Engine
Maple T.A. is powered by the mathematics engine of Maple. Maple is the world’s most trusted general-purpose mathematical problem solving software. It contains a comprehensive suite of mathematical solvers, intelligent symbolic algorithms tightly integrated with industrial-strength numerical solvers, and a powerful intuitive programming language.

Maple T.A. Clients
Students access Maple T.A. via a standard web browser. No other software needs to be installed directly on the client machine. The student may access her or his assignment from different computers at different times.

Instructors need only a standard browser to access the authoring and class management environment. The instructor can work on her or his class from the office and from home without having to install extra software on either machine.

Administrators can do virtually all administration tasks easily via a web-browser.

Product Reviews

Jacqueline Duguay, a Calculus student at the University of Guelph, had this to say about her experience with Maple T.A.:
"...the Maple T.A. tests you offered made such a huge impact on my approach to learning. Every week I made myself sit down and do the Maple TA tests until I understood the material. I didn't realise how beneficial this was until studying for the final exam. I found myself able to remember everything I had learned from the very beginning. Studying was just a "refresher", not a struggle. My mark ended up being 88% this semester, up 18% in one semester!!!"
