Tutors
Maple provides a large collection of built-in, point-and-click learning
tools for most key topics in calculus, algebra, and more. Over 50 interactive
tutors offer focused learning environments in which students can explore
and reinforce fundamental concepts.
Many tutors allow students to work step-by-step through problems. Students
can perform steps themselves, ask for hints, or ask Maple to perform
the next step. For example, one tutor gives students practice applying
the different rules of integration. Another provides help with performing
Gaussian elimination on matrices, allowing students to focus on the steps
without getting lost in the arithmetic.
Tutors frequently use 2-D and 3-D plots and animations, reinforcing
concepts that are sometimes difficult to visualize. Examples include
volumes and surfaces of revolution, eigenvector plots, Newton’s
method, gradients, space curves, conic sections, and DE plots.
Tutors are available for single variable, multivariable, and vector
calculus, precalculus, linear algebra, complex variables, numerical analysis,
and differential equations.
