Instructions for Installing Maple Software 

If you choose to purchase and install the Maple software on your computer (Option 2 on the Maple Information Page), this page will guide you.

(1)  Purchase and install the Maple software on the computer you use.  (The current version that is installed on the computers in the computer labs in rooms Math 206 and CRSC 190 at Anne Arundel Community College as of Spring 2017 is Maple 18.  We use the Classic Maple option for simplicity. The student version that is available for you to purchase from MapleSoft  for Spring 2017 is Maple 2016, is quite adequate and costs about $100.) Most software retailers will not accept returns on software, so ascertain that the course is running before opening the Maple wrapper and installing the Maple software.   If you wish to get acquainted with the software before installing it on your computer, feel free to drop by the Math Department to use Maple in the Math Computer Lab in Math 206..

(2)  Associate ".mws" files with Maple on your operating system.    

Should you have difficulty with either of these tasks, please contact your instructor(s).  Fortunately these two tasks will have to be done only once for the entire course.  You can then open the Maple worksheets that we provide with a few clicks. 

 

  

To submit your work for a grade for all Maple worksheets, please do the following:

1. Highlight and delete all of my work above the red header with the ##########s where you type your name. (This saves paper and printing costs and reduces file size.) Highlight and delete any of my comments interspersed with your work so that I can see your work.

2. Click on every graph to select it, then drag the lower right corner to make it much smaller, maybe one ninth as large as it was. (This also saves paper and printing costs and reduces file size.)

3. Save a soft copy for a back-up on your thumb drive or floppy disk. Click File, Save As, filename.mws, Classic Maple Worksheet, Save. For the filename, use your name dash the worksheet name. For example, Smith-VectOps.mws.

4 A. If you are in an on-campus (F2F, face-to-face) class, please make a paper copy of the worksheet to submit to me to be graded.

B. If you are in an on-line class, then please
a. attach the file (having completed steps 1-3 just above to reduce file size) to an email and send it to me.
b. put your name and the worksheet name on the e-mail's subject line, e.g., Smith-Vectops.mws.
c. send one worksheet per e-mail.

Thank you.
