                      |  | With over 270 new mathematical functions and over a   thousand enhancements to existing algorithms, Maple 15 customers can   solve more complex problems faster than ever before. It's second to none in terms of scalability and  performance due to highly   efficient fundamental operations, sophisticated algorithms for advanced   operations, and numerous options to fully leverage the  power of   multi-core computers. It can also compute symbolic solutions to   differential equations that no other system can handle, and now solves   an  unprecedented 97% of the benchmark standard for differential   equations, putting  it far ahead of the nearest competitor. With Maple 15, users can work effectively with large  datasets and   create even more compelling interactive applications using the new  data   table.  With the new variable  manager, they can gain greater control   over their Maple sessions, quickly  assessing the state of their   computations. Customers can also take advantage of the latest in   interactive Clickable Math™ tools, including over 40 new   mini-demonstrations for exploring and  illustrating common mathematical   concepts. “Maple 15 is the most important Maple release in the last 5 years,   and we are very excited to be able  to share it with our customers,”   says Laurent Bernardin, Executive Vice-President and Chief Scientist,    Maplesoft. “We know they face challenging problems every day, from   designing the Mars Exploration Rovers to teaching the fundamentals of   calculus.  We are proud that the improvements in Maple 15 will make an   important  contribution to their success.” “Maple is a system   that involves a lot of different pieces – the math, the programming   tools, the point-and-click  tools, the technical documentation features,   the teaching resources, connectivity features, etc.,” says Dr. Harald   Kammerer, a Maple user for 20  years and Head of R&D, GERB, Germany.   “Maple 15 includes important  enhancements in every single one of these   areas. No matter what you are using  Maple for, or how you are using   it, you will find something here of value.” Read a blog written by Dr. Laurent Bernardin, Maplesoft's 
                Executive Vice-President & Chief Scientist, as he describes the guiding principle behind Maple's development and exciting new features in Maple 15.  Next Steps:

              |  |  | Dr. Robert J. Lopez, Emeritus Professor of   Mathematics at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute,   Indiana, USA, is an award winning educator in mathematics and is the   author of several books, including Advanced Engineering Mathematics.   For over two decades, Dr. Lopez has also been a visionary figure in the   introduction of math technology into undergraduate education and has   received numerous awards for outstanding scholarship and teaching. 
 Clickable Calculus,   the idea of powerful mathematics delivered using very visual,   interactive point-and-click methods, offers educators a new generation   of teaching and learning techniques. Clickable Calculus introduces a   better way of engaging students so that they fully understand the   materials they are being taught. It responds to the most common   complaint of faculty who integrate software into the classroom – time is   spent teaching the tool, not the concepts.
 
 In this webinar series, Dr. Lopez presents six webinars,   covering fundamental branches of undergraduate mathematics, including Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, Multivariate Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and Vector Calculus.

 Driven by the needs of the consumer auto industry, “symbolic   computation” based physical model development has broken through some   key barriers in HIL testing. For example, full vehicle models for   dynamics, multi-domain models of HEV powertrains, and detailed dynamic   models of special subsystems, such as crane arms, are challenging the   traditional engineering workflow. Featuring numerous case studies and   technique demonstrations, this webcast will explore new modeling   techniques to accelerate model development while increasing model   fidelity and simulation performance. It will show how to achieve   efficient high-fidelity system modeling for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)   and control applications whether you’re working on passenger cars or   commercial vehicles. In addition, this webcast will provide you with   practical knowledge on quickly improving or implementing model-based   design (MBD) techniques.

                                    | Classroom Tips and Techniques: "Events" and the Numeric Solutions of ODEs
 Author: Dr. Robert Lopez
 
 Several   examples of the use of "events" in solving differential equations   numerically are given. The main example is the "skydiver" problem where   free-fall changes to descent with an open parachute.
