Maple By Example Review
I used this book as the text in a Maple class that I taught during the January term of 2006. While I found the coverage and exposition more than satisfactory, there are a large number of errors that made it difficult for the students. In their evaluations, they were happy with the level of difficulty and the amount of work, thought they learned a lot but every student complained about the number of errors in the book. What disturbed them the most was the fact that many of the errors were in the code examples, so when they tried to run them, all they got were error messages.This made my job more difficult, as it forced me to run all the code examples before class to make sure that they would be able to do the assignments. Many times, I had to consult the online Maple help in order to determine where the errors were in the coded examples. Therefore, I give this book five stars for coverage and level of difficulty and less than two stars for accuracy.
