In this comprehensive, easy-to-understand book, Chris Tocci and Steve Adams show how real-world engineering problems can be solved using MAPLE as the principal tool. The authors go well beyond providing a tutorial on MAPLE V, Release 4, as they show how to set up problems using MAPLE and demonstrate how engineers and scientists should think about problems when using this popular software. The book features practical examples and detailed explanations of the engineering processes and mathematical functions used in each case. Accompanying software includes exercises and a demonstration of MAPLE features and subroutines that can be used to solve the reader's own engineering problems.
