Description

Initiate a session with the Maple Computer Algebra System. Expressions are read from standard input and the results are produced on the standard output as as each input expression is read. Maple has the ability to algebraically manipulate unbounded integers, exact rational numbers, real numbers with arbitrary precision, symbolic formulae, polynomials, sets, lists, and equations. It can solve systems of equa- tions and differentiate and integrate formulae.
