- Lectures 1 & 2 (Sep 14, 19)
- IMPORTANT: When working with xmaple
(the GUI-based version of maple),
make sure that you save your worksheets frequently (use, e.g., Ctrl-S) when working
on them to minimize the amount of work lost due to any unexpected
"crashes" of the interface and/or operating system.
- Important: Please note the following difference between Maple V.4
(the documentation I will hand out in class) and Maple V.5
(the version currently installed on our machines):
- The percentage sign, %, replaces the
double-quotes character, ", as the shorthand for "last result";
similarly, %% replaces "" for "next-to-last result"

command-line
