Where can I get more information about Maple?
The X version of Maple uses graphical online help, which can be used from the Help menu in the upper right corner, or by typing help queries at the command line as described below. (The online help in the TTY version has fewer features, but uses the same command-line syntax.)
To get help on a specific topic, type:
> ?topic
For help on using the help system, type
> ?help
or
> ?helpguide (X version only)
For a list of help topics, type
> ?index
To get a list of built-in variables (constants like 'Pi', etc.), type:
> ?ininames
To get a list of built-in routines (functions like 'sin', etc.), type:
> ?inifcns
There are several other sources of information which might be helpful:
- The official Maple manuals are published by Springer Verlag and can be found in the library reference collections.
- The "Maple at MIT" web page contains general information on Maple resources and some MIT-specific information: http://web.mit.edu/maple/www/home.html
