Engineering’s Golden Mousetrap Awarded to
Maple 10 - Maple 10 was awarded the Design
News Golden Mousetrap Award in the Analysis and Calculation
category. For over 20 years Design News - in partnership
with many important and forward-thinking companies - has
been recognizing engineering achievement and innovative
design.

Teams with Top French Research Centers to Bring Mathematical Solvers
to Market - Maplesoft, the French National Institute
for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA) and the Computer
Science Laboratory of Paris 6 (LIP6) at the Pierre & Marie Curie
University (UPMC) jointly announced that they have entered a cooperative
research project centered around the Solvers for Algebraic Systems
and Applications (SALSA) group. As a result, SALSA’s research
advancements in mathematical solvers will be integrated into Maplesoft’s
product line, ensuring commercial availability of these breakthroughs.

BlockBuilder Environment Enhances Simulink
Written by Tony Lockwood
“ The really cool thing here is that BlockBuilder
uses a freeform workspace. So, you doodle out your ideas
on some physical
design and leverage some algorithms from Maple for your
analyses. The really, really cool thing is that all the
while you're
doing this, you are building a Simulink-ready S-Function
block. Further, since this block you created in BlockBuilder
encapsulates your Maple mathematical analysis, it enhances
and extends the resultant Simulink design while saving
time and reducing errors.”
“…
think of BlockBuilder as your project notebook with lots
of smarts, on steroids, dynamic, and broken free of tactile
limitations. …I feel that it will do for initial
development what word processing did for the typewriter."
