                    | Join Maplesoft at ICTCM 2012!
 Visit Maplesoft at the 24th  Annual International Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics  (ICTCM), in Orlando Florida, March 22-25th, 2012 at the Walt Disney  World Dolphin Resort. Stop by booth #3 for a custom demonstration of Maple,  Maple T.A. and the Maplesoft MAA Placement Test Suite! Maplesoft Presentations at ICTCM 2012:  Clickable  Calculus: Syntax-Free Computing in Maple Friday March 23 from 5-5:45pm in Oceanic 5 of the Walt Disney World Dolphin  Hotel
 Presented by Dr. Robert J. Lopez
 No need to register, walk-ins are  welcome.
 
 Teach the syllabus, not the CAS tool.  With Maple’s “point-and-click” paradigm, you  don’t have to teach the software because it’s virtually syntax-free.  Using no commands, just palettes, Assistants,  Tutors, and Task Templates, we’ll solve standard (and not so standard) problems  from calculus, DE, and linear algebra.
 
 
  Minicourse:  Maple Task Templates: Build, Save, Distribute Saturday March 24 from 10:30am-12:15pm in Asia 5
 Presented by Dr. Robert J. Lopez
 *Minicourses  have limited enrollment.  Attendees are required to pre-register.  Please  contact Diane Armstrong, ICTCM conference registrar at
 diane.armstrong@pearson.com and indicate that you would like to add computer minicourse SAT – M11 to your  registration.
 
 Users can add to the existing 350 Task Templates in Maple,  thus creating their own math applets that become part of Maple. This Minicourse  will show how to build, save, and distribute user-created Task Templates  constructed with Maple’s “embedded components.” Instruction on coding such  components is included.

  Writing a book on Maple, MapleSim or any other Maplesoft product? The Maplesoft Author Support Program may be able to help you! If you are eligible, you will be entitled to get copies of the products, and we   will promote your book through the Maplesoft marketing network. Ideally,   applicants should be working with a publisher. Authors who do not have a   publisher but can demonstrate serious intent will also be considered for the   program.

 Live Webinar: Driveline Modeling and Simulation: Challenges and Solutions for HIL SimulationWednesday, March 21st at 10:00am ET
 
 
  In this webcast, Dr. Derek Wright, MapleSim Product Manager, and Dr. Orang   Vahid, Senior Modeling Engineer, at Maplesoft will present some of the   challenges faced by hardware- and software-in-the-loop (HIL and SIL) simulation   of complex driveline models. These models present unique difficulties to   engineers wishing to do control design and validation via HIL and SIL   simulation. Specifically, there is often a trade-off necessary between model   fidelity and simulation speed that may necessitate model approximations and   result in reduced effectiveness of the designed controllers. Discussion will   include the role of Modelica and acausal modeling in achieving manageable   physical models and how symbolic formulations can increase simulation speed   without reducing model fidelity.
