- Announcement of Maple V Release 2
- =================================
-
- We are proud to announce the availability of a new version of Maple,
- Maple V Release 2. Release 2 represents a major step forward in all
- capabilities of Maple. We'd like to thank everyone, especially
- people from outside the Maple group who have contributed.
-
- At this time Waterloo Maple Software is shipping Release 2 for the
- Sun 4/SPARC and DEC Unix systems. We expect to complete ports to
- other Unix platforms by year end.
-
- Release 2 incorporates a completely new user interface and many
- new graphical capabilities. The new interface supports worksheets,
- a help browser, and outputs formulae in mathematical notation.
- High quality hardcopy output for worksheets is available in PostScript.
- The new interface for the X Window System follows Motif conventions
- and includes much improved editing capabilites.
-
- The new graphical capabilities include contour plots, implicit
- plots (2D and 3D), vector plots (2D and 3D), animation (2D and 3D),
- and basic support for text, polygons, color, lighting, etc.
-
- As with previous new versions of Maple, Maple V Release 2 also
- includes many new and improved mathematical capabilities. A focus
- of this version has been given to fixing bugs, fixing design problems,
- and to improve the numerical capabilities, in particular,
- complex numeric arithmetic, numerical linear algebra, and numerical
- solutions to polynomials.
-
- The new version contains approximately 700 new functions to the
- existing library, for a total of more than 2,500 functions.
- A detailed list of the new facilities and improvements,
- with examples in Maple V Release 2, will be posted in a separate
- message on sci.math.symbolic.
