Increase quality of analytical work

Newest version of Maplesoft's flagship product dramatically improves user experience

Maplesoft, the leading provider of high-performance software tools for engineering, science and mathematics, has announced a major release of Maple, the company's flagship product.

Maple 11 features enhancements to its smart document interface, strong computation engine, and connectivity capabilities.

The result is a product that provides users the necessary technology to reduce error and dramatically increase analytical productivity.

With Maple 11, the company is advancing the revolutionary technical document interface technology it introduced two years ago.

The new release combines the world's most powerful mathematical computation engine with an intuitive user-interface that eliminates the learning curve so common with other mathematical software.

Its smart document environment automatically captures all technical knowledge in an electronic form that seamlessly integrates calculations, explanatory text and maths, graphics, images and sound, and more.

These concise live documents can be reused or shared across the organisation.

"We initiated a radical change in the industry when we launched Maple 10 with its superior technical document and knowledge sharing capabilities", said Maplesoft CEO Jim Cooper.

"It changed the way people worked and Maple 11 represents another important leap forward in this direction".

"It is the leading tool for engineers and scientists to streamline and increase the quality of their analytical work".

"It also represents Maplesoft's commitment to transforming the way our customers use technology".

Maple 11 is supported by an extensive range of products for various industrial applications including automotive, aerospace, electronics, energy and finance.

Companion products include automatic model generation, optimal design tools, intelligent control design, reference e-books, and more.

Maple 11 has a vastly improved computation engine that includes new mathematics, user-level multithreaded computations and the world's best certified polynomial real root finder.

The smart document environment minimises the learning curve providing instant productivity.

Whether it is to do quick calculations, develop design sheets, or produce sophisticated high fidelity simulation models, Maple 11 raises the bar for industry-leading mathematical power and provides a whole new level of analytical productivity.
