Maple – aspects in teaching mathematics

Abstract

Computer mathematics systems are very widely solicited by education and research institutions. Maple is one of these systems. It is a very attractive environment for making different calculations and analytical transforming. It is a system used for representing the mathematical knowledge, capable of writing, saving and utilizing the information. Using the system one can perform numeric calculus as well as symbolic calculus and graphics. The system helps not only in learning mathematical notions but also in forming an algorithmic and experimental thinking for solving different problems in the daily life. As far as the system is not difficult in use, it makes the students interested in utilizing it, this way becoming more attracted by the subject of mathematics. Education being one of the fields that should keep up with the development of information technology makes Maple become very welcome at mathematical classes.
