Ebook: Maple Animation

The capability of computer algebra systems for creating animations has given mathematics instructors a powerful means of demonstrating mathematical concepts. But learning to make animations generally requires extensive searching through a vast system for the pertinent functions. This book brings together virtually all of the functions and procedures useful in creating sophisticated animations using Maple 7 and 8, and it presents them in a logical, accessible way, with many examples. An accompanying CD provides all of the Maple code used in the book, including the code for more than 30 ready-to-use demonstrations. Mathematics instructors at all levels will welcome this opportunity to enhance their teaching and their students' enjoyment of the subject.
