PREREQUISITES


COURSE AIM
The course aims at teaching the participants what can be done, how it is done and why it is done the way it is done with Maple.


CONTENTS
The teaching consists of lectures, computer exercises and tutorials. The course can in its entirety or in part be taught in english.
Maple is a general computer algebra program. It supports symbolic manipulation. This means that apart from numerical computations, plotting of curves and diagrams one can perform symbolic manipulations - differentiation, determination of primitive functions, solving equations, studying of differential equations etc. Hence one can let the computer do all routine computations, test hypotheses etc. It is also possible to write programs (or to use othe peoples programs) and to define your own functions in Maple. The teaching is for the most part in the form of computer laborations.


TEACHING
The teaching is in the form of shorter lectures in the computer laboratory.


EXAMINATION
Examination consists of handin exercises, a project and an exam (at the computer) at the end of the course for those who have handed in the handin exercises and the project.
