Introduction To Maple

At the start of each session:

Enter TEXT MODE by hitting F5.

Type your name, class, date, etc. at the top of each worksheet.

Type the command:

with(student):

Note: student is not plural!

During each session:

	End each command with a semi-colon ( ; ) (or a colon if you don't want to see the output.)
	Clearly indicate the beginning of new problems in TEXT MODE.

Answer all questions in complete sentences in TEXT MODE. Don't rely on the instructor to wade through your Maple output.

Title all of your graphs.

plot(f(x), x=-5..25, title = "f(x) = x^2");

SAVE OFTEN

Save your file on the a: drive. Replace the * with a name for your file, like maple1

Maple will automatically give your file the extension .mws -- don't change this!

	Maple is case sensitive -- be careful when you type commands!
	The result of any command can be assigned a label so it can be referred to later. You may not use spaces in any label. Labels can contain digits, but may not begin with a digit.

factor(x^2 + 5*x + 6);
solve (x^2 + 5*x + 6 = 0 , x);

or

expr:= factor(x^2 + 5*x + 6);
solve(expr = 0, x);
