  Maple computer algebra system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maple is a general-purpose commercial computer algebra system.
It was first developed in 1981 by the Symbolic Computation Group at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
As is usual with computer algebra systems, symbolic expressions are stored in memory as directed acyclic graphs.

 Computer algebra system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The study of algorithms useful for computer algebra systems is known as computer algebra.
The run-time of numerical programs implemented in computer algebra systems is normally longer than that of equivalent programs implemented in systems such as MATLAB, GNU Octave, or directly in C, since they are programmed for full symbolic generality and thus cannot use machine numerical operations directly for most of their functions.
Computer algebra systems began to appear in the early 1970s, and evolved out of research into artificial intelligence, though the fields are now regarded as largely separate.

Maples are trees of the genus Acer in the Order Sapindales, variously classified in a family of their own Aceraceae, or (together with the Hippocastanaceae) in Sapindaceae; genetic evidence points to the latter being the more accurate option.
Maples are an important early spring source of pollen and nectar for bees, especially honeybees, which use its resources for spring buildup.
Maples are used as a food plant for the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Pale November Moth.

 Computer Algebra Systems
Computer Algebra systems have not only changed how mathematics is taught at many universities, but have provided a flexible tool for mathematicians worldwide.
Computer Algebra systems can be used to simplify rational functions, factor polynomials, find the solutions to a system of equation, and various other manipulations.
It is important that the computer algebra system be able to represent everything that may happen when expressions are simplified and expanded, but it must also decide whether or not to simplify certain operations depending on the circumstances.
