Enter Maple commands at the Maple prompt. Maple recognizes your entry as Maple input and executes the command.

Enter the Maple input, followed by either a semicolon or a colon. If the input ends with a semicolon, the result is usually displayed, as seen below.

factor(x^2 + 2*x + 1);

However, if the input ends with a colon, the result is computed but not displayed.

factor(x^2 +2*x +1):

Press the Enter key. Maple evaluates the input and displays the output, provided that the input ends with a semicolon.

Maple functions include most standard mathematical functions such as sin, sinh, arcsin, exp, ln, sqrt, and binomial.
