MAPLE TUTORIAL FOR MATH 243

Differentiation, Integration, Editing Start Maple.
To differentiate sin(x2) type diff( sin(x^2), x); hit Return
The ←, →, ↑, ↓ keys may be used to navigate in the worksheet and the Backspace, Delete keys may be used to correct typing errors. Don’t forget the semicolon - every command ends with a semicolon. To compute definite and indefinite integrals use int( sin(x), x= 0..Pi ); and hit Return int( a*x^2, x ); and hit Return

Note that Pi (upper case P) is the symbol used for π in Maple. The first command computes the definite integral and the second command computes the indefinite integral. Notice, in the second command, ax2 could have been integrated with respect to x or a. One convenient editing trick is the following. Suppose we wish to differentiate xsin(x3). We have already differentiated sin(x
2) - so using the ← ↑ → ↓, keys on the right hand side of the keyboard, move the cursor to that line. Then using the Backspace, Delete, and arrow keys modify that line to read
