History of Maple
In November 1980, a meeting was held in University of Waterloo to create a system based on computer algebra system (Macysma) that could operate to on lower cost computer. In December 1980, the first limited version of Maple is produced and it starts to be demonstrated at first conferences beginning in 1982. Initially, Maple’s is referred as Maple’s Canadian heritage and by the end of 1983; over 50 universities had their copies of Maple installed on their machine.
In 1984, the research group arranged with Watcom Product Inc to license and distributes Maple. In 1988 Waterloo Maple Inc. was founded. Due to the huge achievement, the company seems to have R&D department where most of Maple's development is done today with the rest done at university research labs worldwide including: the Symbolic Computation Laboratory at the University of Waterloo and the Ontario Research Centre for Computer Algebra at the University of Western Ontario.
The first graphical user interface was invented in 1989 included with version 4.3 for the Macintosh. X11 and Windows versions of the new interface followed in 1990 with Maple V.
In 1994 a special issue of a newsletter created by Maple developers called MapleTech' was published. In 1999, with the release of Maple 6, Maple included some of the NAG Numerical Libraries. In 2003, the current "standard" interface was introduced with Maple 9 with interface is primarily written in Java. Improvements have been made in later versions in Maple 11 with documentation recommends the previous (“classic”) interface for users with less than 500 MB of physical memory.

In 2005,
Maple 10 introduced a new “document mode”, as part of the standard interface
and the main feature of this mode is that math is entered using two dimensional
input. In 2008, Maple 12 added additional user interface features found in Mathematical
and Maple 13 introduced a new flythrough feature for gaphing a new way to
visualize graphing. In September 2009 Maple and Maplesoft were acquired by the
Japanese software retailer Cybernet Systems. Maple 16's performance was being
undercut by Mathematica when it compared its newest version to Maple 15. Many
of Maple16's performance enhancements were actually much better than
Mathematica's hence Wolfram's decision to compare it to an earlier version. Maple
16's graphical environment is much improved over the past. Nowadays, a new
Maple 17 invented to with modern technology to simplify users.
Maple can be used to solve mathematical problems and also for learning.
Example of simple expression that can be solve by maple:
There are several type of signs that give the Maple command. For example, the signs '+' and '-' are used to give Maple command for addition and subtraction. Here we provided you with some of the simple Maple command that can be use easily:
| Maple command | Comment |
|---|---|
| # This is a comment | Helps when writing programs |
| >2*3/7; | Multiplication and division |
| >sqrt(100); | The square root |
| >sin(Pi/3); | Use capital P for Pi |
| >n1:=10: | The colon suppresses the output |
| >diff(y,x); | Differentiate y with respect to x |
| >int(cos(x),x); | Integration with respect to x |
A few data types can be expressed in maple software by type it in different ways.
In maple, sequence take the form:
expr1, expr2, expr3,... exprn
Sets take the form:
{ expr1, expr2, expr3,... exprn}
Lists take the form:
[expr1, expr2, expr3,... exprn]
Example are shown in the table below:
| Data type | Example |
|---|---|
| seq | 2,3,4,5 |
| sets | {2,4,6,8} |
| lists | [1,3,5,7] |
