Toolbox combines the best in symbolic and numeric computation for developing mathematical solutions and performing in depth analysis of the results.
The Maple Toolbox for Matlab enables Matlab users to tap the full power of Maple 10.
The new toolbox combines the best in symbolic and numeric computation for developing mathematical solutions and performing in depth analysis of the results.
Released after extensive public beta testing and available now from Adept Scientific, the Maple Toolbox for Matlab will be of considerable interest to everyone involved in engineering design and development as well as education and research.
Maple has long been recognised as the world's most advanced symbolic mathematics software, while Matlab (from The MathWorks) is generally regarded as the leading numerical computation engine.
The new Maple Toolbox for Matlab provides a long sought-after synergy between the two.
The toolbox consists of two components: Maple 10 itself - the most powerful and intuitive tool for solving complex mathematical problems and creating rich, executable technical documents - and the Maple-Matlab Connector.
The latter is an addon to Maple 10 that provides a two-way link between Maple and Matlab, enabling users to define variables in either environment and access them in both.
"The Maple Toolbox for Matlab features two of the world's best mathematical products working together to solve engineering problems", said Maplesoft CEO Jim Cooper.
"The toolbox will benefit companies involved in the design and development of engineering systems for the automotive, aerospace, biomedical, chemical processes and robotics markets, as well as university engineering departments that use both Matlab and Maple".
The Maple Toolbox for Matlab, which is up to 50 times faster than Matlab's Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox, features an interactive technical document interface with an intuitive 2D equation editor for typeset-quality mathematical presentation.
In addition to access to Maple's powerful mathematical engine, the Toolbox includes statistics, optimisation, enhanced graphics, scientific constants, units, tolerances and code generation to five languages: C, Fortran, Microsoft Visual Basic, Java and, of course, Matlab.
It also includes access to over 50 interactive assistants and tutors to aid rapid development of solutions.
It is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh platforms.
The release comes after extensive beta-testing over the past two months.
Users have expressed keen enthusiasm about the advantages of having combined access to symbolic and numeric computations.
"With this Toolbox, Maplesoft offers a technical computing solution that is tightly integrated with Matlab, providing direct access to all the commands, variables, and functions of each product while working in either environment", said one beta-tester.
"We used it and we just fell in love with it".
Added Cooper: "The feedback we received from those who tested the beta version reinforced our belief that this is a unique product, with great problem-solving capabilities, combining the strengths of two of the world's best mathematical products".
The Maple Toolbox for Matlab and other products in the Maplesoft range are supplied and supported in the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and Finland by Adept Scientific.
