Maple provides several different connectivity options for MATLAB^®.

• Tight, two-way integration is available between Maple and MATLAB^®
• Flexible connectivity tools support a variety of interactions: a MATLAB^® to Maple code translator; the ability to automatically generate MATLAB^® code; and a link to the MATLAB^® computational engine.

Two-Way Integration between Maple and MATLAB^®
Maple offers a technical computing solution that is tightly integrated with MATLAB^®, providing direct access to all the commands, variables, and functions of each product while working in either environment.

• Enhanced integration with MATLAB^® provides direct access to all of the commands, variables, and functions of each product while working in either environment.
• Access Maple's world-leading symbolic engine to handle the symbolic portions of your MATLAB^® calculations and programs.
• If you are working in MATLAB^®, you can still access Maple interactive assistants and tutors for rapid solution development.
• Gain arbitrary precision in your MATLAB^® calculations, avoiding catastrophic cancellations in your MATLAB^® code.
• Fully compatible with code written using earlier versions of symbolic toolboxes from The MathWorks™.

Flexible Connectivity Tools

MATLAB^® to Maple code translation
The MATLAB^® to Maple code translator helps you to convert your existing MATLAB^® code into Maple for use in new or expanded projects. It also offers quick on-the-fly translations if you are more familiar with MATLAB^® syntax.

• Converts and automatically executes MATLAB^® commands by using the Maple equivalents
• Works with single commands or MATLAB^® .m files
• Supports basic operations, matrix indexing, and matrix construction
• Over 100 MATLAB^® commands are automatically mapped to their Maple equivalents
• Collection of translatable commands is user-expandable

MATLAB^® Code Generation
Maple’s code generation feature can generate MATLAB^® code from Maple expressions and procedures.

MATLAB^® Link
The MATLAB^® link lets you call on MATLAB^® to perform calculations from the Maple environment, and return the results to Maple for further analysis.

• Call out to MATLAB^® to compute and retrieve the results of arbitrary MATLAB^® expressions using flexible communication tools.
  • Includes the ability to set and retrieve MATLAB^® variable values from Maple.
  • Any MATLAB^® functions can be called, including your custom routines.
  • The retrieved MATLAB^® result is automatically converted to a Maple data structure.
• Directly access over a dozen common MATLAB^® functions.
  • Maple commands seamlessly accept both MATLAB^® and Maple data structures, and call MATLAB^® behind the scenes to perform the calculation.
  • Direct-access functionality is available for calculating Cholesky factorizations, determinants, dimensions, eigenvalues, LU decompositions, discrete Fourier transforms, and more.
