Maple get acquainted lab
- Go to your class quiz and test archive and copy the URL for the first
quiz Maple worksheet.
- Open Maple and paste the URL into the File Menu, Open URL window and
Enter.
Execute the worksheet by clicking on the !!! icon on the toolbar.
Rotate the final plot by clicking on it and dragging with the mouse.
- Explore briefly the menus and toolbar icons with bob.
- Enter together in 2d math the 1d expression: 4*exp(3*x)*sin(3*x),
namely 4 ex sin 3x.
On each successive output, use right click menus: integrate,
differentiate (so we are back to the original expression), then plots-plotbuilder, plot x = -2..2,
then numerically solve derivative of original expression (=0 understood) and then add option ",
x=0..2" before the ending ")" of the fsolve command to get the location of
the horizontal tangent line you see in the plot.
- Copy the original expression 4 ex sin 3x to paste (Control V) into the integrand for
a definite integral from the Expression palette for x = 0..2
π (entering 2, Space, Pi from the
Symbol palette) and evaluate it.
- From the Expression palette, make the same expression into a Maple function
f := a -> y, pasting into the y slot and replacing "a"
by "x".
Then evaluate f(x), f '(x), f ''(x), f ''(π),
repeat the integral from 0 to 2 π.
- Do the Maple Help "Take a Tour of Maple" 10 minute tour
from the Help menu, and follow it by
the short Numerical and Symbolic calculations.
