\subsection{Introduction to Computing and Plotting\label{Introduction}%
\hrulefill}

With just a few mouse clicks, you can perform basic and complex mathematical
computations\ right in your document. In \textit{Scientific Notebook, }you
can quickly perform the symbolic computations fundamental to algebra,
trigonometry, and calculus---evaluating, factoring, combining, expanding,
and simplifying terms and expressions containing integers, fractions, and
real and complex numbers. You can also perform integration, differentiation,
matrix and vector operations, standard deviations, and many other more
complex computations involved in calculus, linear algebra, differential
equations, and statistics.

You can manipulate the results of your computations, using them to perform
additional computations or plotting the results. And you can plot additional
items by dragging them onto an existing plot. You can build a series of
expressions that show a step-by-step approach to a problem solution by
computing in place---performing computations within an expression, rather
than on an entire expression. You can perform computations on the
mathematics you enter in \textit{Scientific Notebook} or on data files you
import from your graphing calculator.\ Use the Settings command on the Maple
menu to toggle between a full and a partial menu of computational commands.

This is all you have to do:\medskip

\noindent $\blacktriangleright $\quad \textbf{To perform a computation or
plot a graph\label{To compute or plot}}

\begin{enumerate}
\item  Enter a mathematical expression.

\item  With the insertion point in or at the immediate right of the
expression, choose the command you want from the Maple menu or the Compute
toolbar: \FRAME{dtbpF}{2.7882in}{1.0931in}{0pt}{}{}{computebar.wmf}{\special%
{language "Scientific Word";type "GRAPHIC";display "PICT";valid_file
"F";width 2.7882in;height 1.0931in;depth 0pt;original-width
48.875pt;original-height 19pt;cropleft "0";croptop "1";cropright
"1";cropbottom "0";filename 'computebar.wmf';file-properties "XNPEU";}}
\end{enumerate}

While the computation takes place, the program displays the Maple pointer.
Then, the program inserts the answer in your document. Most computations are
fast, but some take several minutes.

\noindent $\blacktriangleright $\quad \textbf{To stop a computation and
return to your Scientific Notebook document\label{To stop a computation}}

\begin{itemize}
\item  Click\FRAME{itbpF}{22.4375pt}{21.0625pt}{2pt}{}{}{abort.wmf}{\special%
{language "Scientific Word";type "GRAPHIC";display "PICT";valid_file
"F";width 22.4375pt;height 21.0625pt;depth 2pt;original-width
20.3125pt;original-height 18.8125pt;cropleft "0";croptop "1";cropright
"1";cropbottom "0";filename 'abort.wmf';file-properties "XNPEU";}}or press
Ctrl+Break.
\end{itemize}
