- The student edition of Maple V for the Amiga is currently in the
- initial discussion stages, and we do not have any definite release
- dates at this time. The best that I can do about describing this
- future (potential) package is to send you the current information
- about the student editions for the DOS and Macintosh platforms,
- which this is likely to be modelled after.
-
- If you send me your full postal address, I can also arrange for your
- name to be added to our list of interested customers and we can
- contact you about the availability of this product in the future.
- I can also send you our current information about the full
- professional edition of Amiga Maple V, if requested.

-
- Here is information about the Maple V Student Edition, which is
- available for the Macintosh and 386/DOS platforms.
-
- The student version of Maple for the 386/DOS platform can run under
- windows, but does not support the full windows implementation.
-
- If you are interested in the full professional version of Maple,
- which now supports a full windows implementation and includes a
- free upgrade to Maple V Release 2 with purchase, please send us your
- complete postal address, and I would be happy to arrange for a
- comprehensive information package to be mailed to you. If requested,
- I can also provide some additional info about the full version and
- order details by e-mail.
-
- I hope this information helps. If you have any further questions,
- please do not hesitate to ask.

- MAPLE V: STUDENT EDITION
-
- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
-
- Brooks/Cole Publishing Co. are selling a version of Maple V produced
- exclusively for students. This student version of Maple V will contain much of
- the power of Maple V, but its main intent is to provide the necessary tools to
- supplement first and second year mathematics courses.
-
- The Student Edition of Maple V contains features allowing for
- accurate symbolic, numeric, and graphic results. This version does not
- contain all of the packages found in the full implementation of Maple
- V, and runs slightly slower than the full edition (due to disk space
- compression algorithms). It is a powerful computer algebra system that
- will provide students with a strong mathematical aid for their studies.
-
- Smaller than the full version of Maple V, the Student Edition will use
- 4Mb of disk space and 2Mb or more of RAM, and is intended for use on a
- Macintosh or 386/486 DOS based machine, with or without a coprocessor.
-
- The Maple V: Student Edition will consist of the software, an
- installation booklet, and "The Maple V Flight Manual" by
- Ellis, Lodi, Johnson, and Schwalbe. This 180 page guide introduces the
- user to Maple V through tutorials in precalculus, calculus, linear
- algebra, and differential equations. A complete on-line help and
- reference system is provided for easy access to information about
- available Maple V functions.
-
- The Algebra Engine and Language Interpreter (Kernel), the Online Help
- System, Libraries, and many packages (including Linear Algebra, Number
- Theory, Orthogonal Polynomials, Graphics Package, Linear Optimization,
- Statistics, ODE computations and graphs, and Student Calculus) are
- the same in both the Student and Professional editions of Maple V.
- However, the following packages are not included with the Student Edition:
-
- combinat: Combinatorial Functions
- geometry: Two- and Three-Dimensional Euclidean Geometry
- grobner: Grobner Bases
- group: Permutation and Finitely-Presented Groups
- liesymm: Lie Symmetries
- logic: Boolean Logic
- powseries: Formal Power Series
- projgeom: Projective Geometry
- totorder: Total Orders on Names
- misc. commands: binanchi, cartan, debever, oframe, petrov,
- tensor, np, difforms
-
- Documentation not included with the Student Edition:
- Maple V Language and Reference Manual
- Maple V Library Reference Manual
- First Leaves: A Tutorial Introduction to Maple V
-
- This student edition of Maple V includes installation support from
- Brooks/Cole, and documentation entitled "The Maple V Flight Manual" by
- Ellis, Lodi, Johnson, and Schwalbe (see description above).
-
- Produced for students, Maple V Student Edition, is offered at a
- student price of $99.00 (US). For more information, please contact:
