Maple is a symbolic and numeric computing environment as well as a multi-paradigm programming language.

It covers several areas of technical computing, such as symbolic mathematics, numerical analysis, data processing, visualization, and others.

A toolbox, MapleSim, adds functionality for multidomain physical modeling and code generation.

Maple’s capacity for symbolic computing include those of a general-purpose computer algebra system.

For instance, it can manipulate mathematical expressions and find symbolic solutions to certain problems, such as those arising from ordinary and partial differential equations.

Maple is developed commercially by the Canadian software company Maplesoft.

The name ‘Maple’ is a reference to the software’s Canadian heritage.
