Many of the solution sets to the assignments will be written in Maple V.  Maple V is a product of the University of Waterloo, Ontario.  The worksheets that I will be preparing use the student version of Maple V, release 4.  (This costs about $100 for legitimate educational users, and I recommend it.  If you are already using Mathematica, that's fine, too.  Homework using either program, or other symbolic manipulation routine, is fine with me.  Please put enough comments in that I can understand what you are trying to do.)  I have prepared a brief glossary/guide to Maple, enough, I hope, for you to read solution sets.  This is a pdf file, and you will need Acrobat to read it.  You can obtain Acrobat free from Adobe.  There's a lot of additional neat stuff available from Maple's home page.  Check out the applications center.
