Maple 13 has two interfaces; Document and Worksheet. I strongly recommend using the worksheet interface. It produces much smaller saved files (which are also more compatible with earlier versions of Maple). The only disadvantage is that the interface doesn't look so slick, and is fussier about correct syntax (semi-colons at the end of commands etc).
By default when Maple is installed on a MWS computer the (red) desktop link is for the Document interface. To use the Worksheet interface click Start->Programs->Maple13->Classic Worksheet maple 13. If you want, you can right-click on this and select the option to set up a (yellow) desktop link for Classic Worksheet Maple 13.
An alternative is to use the Windows Terminal Service provided by the Computing Services Department. Click on the link above, log in with your usual username and password, install the Citrix software on the Client Detection and Download page if necessary, and then find Maple 13 in the Mathematics application group.
Since you will be running Maple on a remote computer, it may be fairly slow.
There will be 6 exercise sheets, sheets 1 to 3 dealing with LaTeX and sheets 4 to 6 dealing with Maple. They will be posted here as they become available. The sheets were devised by Dr. Toby Hall (but any mistakes are now my responsibility).

A Quick reference card. It's worth looking through this for occasional nuggets of information, though much of it isn't relevant to Maple as we'll be learning it in this module.
