Maplesoft™ has introduced one of the most exciting concepts in maths software history: Clickable Math™. The idea of powerful mathematics delivered through very visual, interactive, point-and-click methods has launched a new generation of teaching and learning techniques in mathematics. The concept is simple: combine the legendary power of Maple software with a user environment that allows even novices to perform complex operations without knowing any commands or syntax. The result? You get all the rich benefits of Maple problem-solving, visualisation and document-processing with virtually no learning curve.
Clickable Calculus™, Clickable Algebra™, Clickable Engineering™… No matter what the subject, Maple 13’s point-and-click interface makes maths easy to do, easy to learn, and easy to teach. The Maple 13 features that deliver the Clickable Math concept include:

- Extensive range of palettes for visual editing of maths expressions
- Interactive plotting and animation controlled by the mouse and not by endless parameters and attributes in a command
- “Drag and drop” operations on plots, expressions, text and more
- Interactive assistants that provide easy mechanisms to solve and explore advanced topics such as differential equation-solving, optimisation and advanced
visualisation
- A Maple Portal for Students, which acts as a guide for hundreds of common tasks from mathematics courses
- Built-in selection of interactive tutors that offer visual learning environments for many important maths topics in precalculus, calculus, linear algebra and more
- Handwriting recognition of maths symbols and equations
- WYSIWYG document processing features that let you create complex maths documents more quickly and easily than in a word processor or LaTeX
- An Exploration Assistant that allows you to instantly create interactive mini- applications to explore the parameters of expressions
