Here are some of the many features introduced in Maple 13.
|
Math |
| Differential Equations |
Revolutionary techniques for finding solutions to differential equations that are beyond the scope of standard methods. It greatly extended the event-handling abilities for numeric solutions and enhanced the abilities and performance of the high-index DAE solvers. |
| Polynomial system solving |
Extensions to the polynomial systems and root-finding algorithms in Maple 13 provided another approach to determining the parameter conditions under which specified types of solutions exist. This ability is particularly useful in designing control systems. |
| Graph Theory |
The GraphTheory package contains new tools for analyzing and visualizing graphs and their properties, as well as new algorithms, predefined graphs, and more. |
| Vector Calculus Task Templates |
Vector Calculus Task Template enhancements provided new templates and improved notation support to make these notationally challenging problems easier to set up and the results easier to interpret. |
| |
|
|
Visualization |
| 3-D Plot Annotations |
Plot annotation support allows you to add additional information to your 3-D plots, making them more meaningful, attractive, and easier to interpret. |
| Fly-Through Animations |
Gain additional insight from your 3-D plots as a virtual camera flies through, over, under, into, and around your surface, letting you focus on points of interest from any angle to understand the trends and behavior of surfaces. |
| Full Rotational Control of 3D Plots |
Manipulate 3-D plots using all three angles of rotation. Plots can be positioned in any manner to highlight points of interest with ease. |
| Plotting with Units |
Create 2-D and 3-D plots of expressions involving units. |
