This book's collection of laboratory investigations encourages students to spend their time on problem solving and conceptual understanding rather than on computation. In each session, the authors provide a statement of requisite Maple commands, a tutorial section, a description of the investigation, a statement that characterizes the Ïminimal project reportÓ required, and project "Extensions" that are more challenging to complete. Topics include slopes of functions; graphs of polynomials; rational functions; Riemann sums; Taylor polynomials and convergence; and polar coordinates.
Applications are fully compatible with Release 3 and Release 4. Projects have been added on Maple tutorial, third semester (multivariable) calculus, quadratic and cubic splines, curvature, integration of volumes, integration with Monte Carlo methods, and animations of involutes.
