 Maplets
0 Accessing Maple at USC [Word] [HTML]       FunctionPlotter (USC)
1 Lines and Plots   LineTutor [PreC] PlotBuilder FunctionPlotter (USC)
2 Graphs of Functions: Shifts and Scalings   StandardFunctions [PreC]   Shift (TAMU)

 NOTE  If you receive an error when you attempt to launch the Shift or Basic7 maplet from a computer on the SAM network, logout, login and try again. If you still are unable to load these maplets, please notify your TA as soon as possible. (Remember to include your SAM login name and e-mail address.) The computer staff will need to modify some settings in your account. You will be notified by e-mail when your account is once again ready to use.

Notes:

  • Tutors and Assistants can be accessed from the respective menus on the Maple 9.5 graphical user interface. The Tutors marked with [PreC] are found under the PreCalculus submenu; those marked with [C-SV] and [C-MV] can be found under the Calculus - Single Variable and Calculus - Multiple Variable submenus, respectively.
  • The maplets are most easily run with the Maplet Viewer (available only for Windows). On other platforms, save the file, load the file into a Maple session (just as you would any other Maple worksheet), and execute the entire worksheet. This will start the maplet.
  • Portable Document Format (PDF) files are viewable with Adobe Reader Download Adobe Reader.

    • If you have any questions, please send e-mail to meade@math.sc.edu
