Waterloo Maple Ships Maple V:
The Power Edition, The New Standard for Mathematical Software
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, January 15, 1996 - Waterloo Maple Inc. has begun
shipping Maple V Release 4 for Windows and for OS/2 Warp. Dubbed "The Power
Edition", this new release is the latest version of the company's
comprehensive mathematical problem-solving systems. The Power Edition
includes major advancements in mathematical and graphical functionality and
user interface features.
[hype snipped]
The Power Edition significantly increases the functionality of the current
version of Maple V. The mathematical algorithms have been dramatically
extended and now include a powerful set of routines for dealing with
piecewise defined functions, an improved equation solver to handle
inequalities and inverse trigonometric functions, as well as a complete
package for dealing with two-dimensional geometry. The Maple V interface has
been completely redesigned to provide users with a versatile technical
document processing environment. New features such as hyperlinks,
collapsible outlining, and typeset mathematics in input, output and text
regions allow the user to produce high caliber print-based and electronic
documents.
[more hype snipped]
The Windows version of the Power Edition is a full 32-bit application and
supports Windows 3.1 (under Win32s), Windows 95, and Windows NT. It is
available as either floppy disks or CD-ROMs. The OS/2 Warp version is the
only high-performance, comprehensive symbolic mathematics system for the
operating system. Both the Windows and OS/2 Warp versions list for $995 US.
