Biography/History:

Bernard V. Liengme is a retired Professor of Chemistry and Lecturer in Information Systems of St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada where he taught for over 36 years. He is the author of A Guide to Microsoft Excel® for Business and Management (two editions), and A Guide to Microsoft Excel® for Scientists and Engineers (six editions). The latter has been adopted by various engineering schools worldwide and both books have been translated into a number of languages. More recently published is Modelling Physics with Microsoft Excel® and SMath for Physics: A primer, both IOP ebooks. Bernard has been awarded the Microsoft Most Valued Professional award in Excel® in each of the last eight years.

Summary:

Maple is a comprehensive symbolic mathematics application which is well suited for demonstrating physical science topics and solving associated problems. This book records the author's journey of discovery; he was familiar with SMath but not with Maple and set out to learn the more advanced application. It leads readers through the basic Maple features with physical science worked examples, giving them a firm base on which to build if more complex features interest them.
