Maple for 80386 Based Machines... Waterloo Maple Software is now shipping Version 4.3 of Maple for IBM PS/2 Models 70 and 80 and other 80386 based machines running PC- or MS-DOS. The price for this implementation of Maple is $1100 (Cdn). Site licenses are available. Waterloo Maple Software and the University of Waterloo combine forces to provide full service, ongoing product development, and complete user support. Maple is a powerful, interactive computer algebra system that can do both symbolic and numerical computations. The previous versions of Maple are currently used at more than 1000 sites worldwide on over 20 hardware platforms from the one megabyte Macintosh to Cray supercomputers. Maple is ideal for scientific, engineering, and business math applications. It's ease of use and extensive libraries facilitate solving problems in robotics, chemistry, relativistic physics, linear programming, econometrics, structural mechanics, electrical engineering, and advanced mathematics. Dr. Keith Geddes, Vice President of Waterloo Maple Software and Co-Director of the Symbolic Computation Group at the University of Waterloo, states: "The latest implementation of this software puts the most powerful, efficient, and reliable mathemathics productivity tool on the desktops of thousands of '386 users in the fields of engineering, science, and mathematics." Version 4.3 affords the user two-dimensional color graphics in CGA, EGA, and VGA modes. Maple is marketed, distributed, and fully supported by Waterloo Maple Software (WMSI), a company formed in 1988 by the developers of Maple, investors, and business managers, to offer engineers, scientists, and business users of mathematics the most powerful, comprehensive, reliable, and user-friendly symbolic algebra software environment. Under development by the Symbolic Computation Group of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, Canada, since 1980, Maple has achieved international distinction.
