- The workspace occupies most of the Maple window. It can contain one ormore documents or worksheets, held as tabs, in which you will type Maplecommands and see the results. The Quick Help navigator also appears inthe workspace.
- The palettes give you easy access to a wide range of mathematicalnotation. Clicking on the triangle to the left of a palette will reveal or hidethe items within that palette. Clicking on a palette item will insert it into the current document or worksheet.
The title and status bars
- The title bar, at the top of your Maple window, gives the version of Maple that you are using.
- The status bar, at the very bottom of the window, is used by Maple to display information about some operations and about your system usage.
The menu bar, toolbar and context bar
- Directly underneath the window's title bar are three rows of buttons. The entries on these rows depend on whether you are entering text or Maple input, working on a spreadsheet or displaying graphics.
- The top row is the menu bar. Some of the items on this bar will become active only in an appropriate context.
- Underneath the menu bar is the toolbar. A single click on a toolbar button will execute the associated command.
- Underneath the toolbar is the context bar. As you selected Document mode, you will be in the default ‘2-D Math’ mode and the context bar will beset for this mode.
To open a new worksheet
Click on the File menu, select New from the sub-menu, and click on Worksheet mode.
When you do mathematics with maple, all you have to do is, insert all the related numbers and symbols in the correct order and maple will give you the desired solution in a zest!! It is just the matter of the correct method used to computerized your mathematical problem justified by Maplesoft.
As for the simplest method, you can simply type all those mathematical data by using your keyboard. There are "+" for addition, "-" for subtraction," *" for multiplication," /" for division or even used in your fractional form, "%" symbolizing the previous answers, and many more. However these symbols are limited in their usage. Frankly said, we can only use them for the simple equations.
For example:

Syntax Essentials
| PUNCTUATION | EXPLAINATION | EXAMPLE |
|---|---|---|
| ; | All commands end with ";" or ":". If a command ends with a semicolon, the output of that command is displayed. | sqrt(3.1); Calculate the square root of 3.1 and displays it. |
| ; | All commands end with ";" or ":". If a command ends with a semicolon, the output of that command is displayed. | a;=3+9: Calculate 3 plus 9 and assigns it to the variable a. The process is not displayed. |
| ? | Using the question mark is another way of accessing the help files. | ?plot Opens the help file related to the plot command. (This is the standard mechanism for plotting two dimensional graphs, |
| % | This is the ditto operator. In older releases, the ditto operator is %. | sqrt(3.1): %+2; Calculate the square root of 3.1 but doesn't show it. Then adds 2 (to sqrt(3.1)) and displays this. |
Note that Maple is case sensitive so that "X" and "x" are different symbols, as are "Pi" and "pi". (Maple use "Pi" with a capital "P" for the mathematical pi.)
People have different way to learn new things. I suggest you to watch these videos. Here are some videos found on how to use Maple.for more detail information you can take a look at these video.
