Maple Usage
You should save these worksheets to your desktop or
other folder. Do not open it directly as this will use
a version of Maple that is much more prone to crash and execute
slowly. You should
use the "Classic Version" of Maple, the one with a yellow
icon. This is faster, less likely to
crash and this Maple file may or may not work with the other
(red icon) version. The Classic Version of Maple is a different
program, it is not the red-icon Maple in classic mode.
To start the Classic version, click on Start --> All Programs, --> Maple
and pick the "Classic" Maple with the yellow icon. From this program,
open the file appropriate .mws that you saved to the
desktop or other folder.
