Multivariable Calculus in the Lab

A collection of Maple V R3 Worksheets

Used in Math 222 at Cornell, Fall 1994

Copyright Notice

Some Maple Release 7 Versions (and Related) Worksheets are now available here.

This collection of worksheets was written for Maple V R3 on the Macs. It was a first time using these materials, so there are rough edges to be improved upon.

The Mac interface to Maple is a very nice one, although significantly different from the Unix xmaple and Windows interfaces. In particular it supports the pasting of color pictures into worksheets. Also, these worksheets use multi-line input at times, and hence rely on the Mac option that only the enter key sends input to Maple.

The worksheets can be accessed by any of:
