Math 150 Maple Demonstrations

The demonstrations are available in both Maple 5 and Maple 6 format. It is recommended that you use the Maple 6 format if possible, as some of the material in the Maple 5 format comes from books that are no longer being used.

Demo #1: Limits - by graphing, numerical approximation, and by symbolically. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #2:Definition of the derivative - slopes of secant lines, average rates of change. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #3: Maple's diff command, finding equations if tangent lines, graphical interpretations of derivatives. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #4: Bitangents (lines tangent to a curve at two different points) - this is helpful for the sequence of problems in the manual on bitangents. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #5: Using the derivative to solve max and min problems - including a problem on the distance from the origin to a curve. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #6: Review of basic Maple (plot, solve, diff); illustrations of the chain rule and implicit differentiation. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #7: Basics on the exponential function - compound interest, carbon dating. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #8: More on exponential functions - finding the exponential function through two points, exponential growth, derivatives of exponential functions, exponential model from differential equations. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #9: Logarithms - use to solve exponential equations, calculus of logarithms. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #10: Exponential (radioactive) decay, Newton's law of cooling, logistic growth. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #11: Integrals via Riemann sums - graphics and evaluation of integrals as limits. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #12: Fundamental theorem of calculus illustrations, area between two curves (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #13: Solid of revolution - illustration via tubeplot and volume via integration. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #14: Symbolic integration - definite and indefinite. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #15: Differential equations - DEtools command for plotting direction fields and solution curves. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
Demo #16: (Same as Demo #10) Exponential models by solving differential equations that yield them - radioactive decay, cooling, logistic growth. (Maple 5 | Maple 6)
