A Brief Introduction to
Maple 11 |
A brief
introduction to Maple written by me and my mathematical spouse, Dr.
Marcus Pendergrass. |
|
Diff Versus D |
A
worksheet written by Dr. Marcus Pendergrass explaining the difference
between the diff command and the big D command for differentiation |
|
Taylor Polynomial Plots of exp(x) |
A
worksheet that shows how to generate Taylor polynomials. It also
plots shows some plots of the polynomials. This is an old-timey
Maple worksheet. |
|
Problem 13, Section 1.1 |
Here is
problem 13 from Section 1.1 worked using Maple. This is also a
Maple document (versus a worksheet) |
|
Round-Off Error |
This worksheet shows how to implement k-digit
rounding and chopping floating point arithmetic in Maple. It also
contains the code for Problem 27, Section 1.2 of your text. |
|
Working with Lists |
This worksheet document shows how to use lists in
Maple and has the Maple procedure for the pseudo code we wrote in class
to evaluate an nth degree polynomial with with O(n) computations. |
|
Growth and Decay |
This
worksheet compares polynomial and exponential growth and decay and
discusses this in terms of order of convergence. |
|
Bisection Method |
This is an implementation of Algorithm 2.1, the
Bisection Method, in Section 2.1 of the text. |
|
Lagrange Polynomials |
This
document shows how to compute Lagrange polynomials using Maple. |
|
Splines |
This document shows how to find splines using Maple.

Data for
Least Squares Fits |
This Maple file contains the data for the examples in
Section 8.1 of your text. |
|
Least Squares
Fits in Maple |
This Maple document shows how to use the curve
fitting package in Maple to perform least squares fits on the data for
the examples in Section 8.1 of your text. |
|
Least Squares in Excel |
This Excel file also contains the data for the
examples in Section 8.1 of your text as well as scatterplots, plots of
the least squares fits, and computation of the error for each fit. |
|
ODE Basics |
This Maple
document shows how to solve some basic ODEs and also how to graph their
direction feilds. |
|

Descent |
This Maple document show basic 1-D gradient descent. |
|
HW 4 Solution |
This Maple document gives the solutions to Homework 4
(some of the Maple code has been cut directly from student solutions
:-)) |
