Maple

Notes on Maple Versions The Classic Worksheet Version of Maple is a different program than just Maple. Many people that use Maple for programming (myself included) think that he Classic Worksheet version is more useful. It seems that the Classic Worksheet version of Maple 15 exists on some students laptops, but not others. You might ask at the VCC help desk if you want to try it and you cannot find it on your laptop.
