• If you use the web page   MapletsForCalculus.html   to access the Maplets on a Macintosh® OSX machine, your browser must be configured so that a .maplet file opens using the Maplet Launcher (written by Yu-Hong Wang at Waterloo Maple Inc) which is distributed with this Maplets for Calculus collection.
• Instructions for installing the Maplet Launcher and configuring each browser are given below:

INSTALLING the Maplet Launcher:

• EITHER
  • Browse to the Setup subfolder in the MapletsForCalculus folder.
  OR
  • Download Maplet Launcher.app.zip to a convenient location on your computer.
  • Browse to the folder where the ZIP archive was saved.
• Double click on Maplet Launcher.app.zip. This will produce the Maplet Launcher.
• Move the Maplet Launcher to your Applications folder.
• NOTE: If the maplets will not start after you have configured the browser, try starting the Maplet Launcher before launching a maplet.
• We would like to thank Yu-Hong Wang at Waterloo Maple Inc for writing the Maplet Launcher for Macintosh and Art Belmonte, Jared Teslow, Mike Crocker and Joel Zinn at Texas A&M University for testing it.
