Adept Scientific announces the release of Maple 7, a major new upgrade to Maple, the widely adopted mathematical computation product line from Waterloo Maple, a world leader in mathematical software for education, research and industry.
Widely used by universities, colleges, research institutions and companies, Maple 7 delivers the comprehensive environment and support resources to visualize and explore mathematical concepts, develop application tools, and share mathematical information and documents through the Web.
Combined with hundreds of free add-on packages and applications available through the Maple Application Center (http://mapleapps.adeptscience.co.uk), Maple 7 constitutes the most powerful and flexible analytical tool for educators, researchers, scientists, engineers and students.
New features in Maple 7 include a wide range of new mathematical algorithms in key areas such as differential equations and numerical computation, and enhanced Web connectivity, including comprehensive MathML 2.0 support, XML support and TCP/IP sockets-based access to online information.
Maple 7's core features are also supported by a rapidly growing suite of free add-on packages and applications available online through the Maple Application Center (http://mapleapps.adeptscience.co.uk). Combined, these enhancements represent technological excellence and maximum value for Maple users.
"Maple 7 offers more of what users have always valued the most about the product: mathematical performance that far exceeds the competition; features that enable new applications, especially those involving the Web; and the most customer-centric service in the industry embodied by a unique and extensive library of free resources," states Dr.
Paul Bragg, Managing Director of Adept Scientific, which supplies and supports Waterloo Maple products in the UK, Ireland and Denmark.
Specific innovations include: Wide range of new differential equation (DE) solvers. New algorithms extend Maple's functionality in DEs, which are essential for modelling and simulation in engineering and the sciences.
Maple 7 solves virtually 100 %of standard benchmark test suites, by far the highest achievement in the market.
Maple 7 also includes groundbreaking solvers for boundary-value problems (BVPs), initial-value problems (IVPs), systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) and dramatic speed and stability improvements for numerical solutions of DEs.
Complete units and dimensions management.
Maple 7 sets the standard for managing units and dimensions.
Problems in engineering and science can be modelled and solved with appropriate dimensions using any modern unit system.
Enhanced web connectivity.
Maple 7 is the first major product in the mathematics arena that offers full support for the W3C's new MathML 2.0 standard that manages both the display and the meaning of mathematics on the Web.
This exclusive feature will enable the true vision of MathML as the primary vehicle for Web mathematics as well as setting the stage for true interoperability within a multi-vendor environment.
TCP/IP sockets connectivity enables dynamic access to information on other Web sites, including stock data for real-time financial analysis and weather data for climate studies.
Free resources.
An extensive suite of powerful add-on packages (Maple PowerTools) and applications for areas such as Finite Element Analysis (FEM), Non-linear Optimization and mathematics education, support Maple 7.
Maple PowerTools and application packages are available free through the Maple Application Center at http://powertools.adeptscience.co.uk
