Getting Started
Your MapleCalculus7 folder contains the master ("start here") file contents.mws and the utility file maple.ini (discussed below) plus three subfolders:
The Chapters folder contains 15 Maple worksheets, one for each of the 15 Chapters in the textbook: Calculus, 6th Edition by C. Henry Edwards and David E. Penney.
The calc folder contains the Maple package calc.m and the help system maple.hdb for this package. The procedures in this package extend the basic functionality of Maple in connection with the worksheets. The Maple command ?calc gives you an overview of the package.
The calcplot folder contains the Maple package calcplot.m and the help system maple.hdb for the package. This is a second package of procedures that extend the basic functionality of Maple. The Maple command ?calcplot gives you an overview of this package.
The Maple worksheet contents.mws is a hyperlinked table of contents file. From this file you can reach all the worksheets, which can be executed interactively.
The file maple.ini (discussed below under Option 2) which specifies the locations of the calc and calcplot packages.
Installation Instructions
The worksheets in the MapleCalculus7 folder are to be used with Windows Maple (either Release 6 or Release 7), which must be installed on your computer. We offer three different options for use of this package of Maple worksheets, depending on how much you wish to customize your own Maple installation and to exploit all the features of these worksheets.
Option 1
For a quick beginning, you can simply start your computer's Maple system and immediately open the file contents.mws in the MapleCalculus7 folder on your own hard drive. (You've already done this if you're reading these instructions.) You can then click on a plus button (below in the Table of Contents) to open the desired chapter, and then click on the link to the section you wish to explore. In this way you can view the principal features of the worksheet, either by selecting and executing one command at a time, or by choosing the Edit: Execute: Worksheet menu selection to execute the entire chapter all at once. However, without further installation, certain commands may not execute completely and some (especially graphic) features may be missing.
Option 2
You can (permanently) activate the "missing features" by copying the "Maple initialization file" maple.ini from the MapleCalculus7 folder to the appropriate Maple system folder on your own hard disk:
For Maple 6, put it in the Bin.wnt folder (normally c:\Program Files\Maple 6\Bin.wnt).
For Maple 7, put it in the Lib folder (normally c:\Program Files\Maple 7\Lib).
For Maple 2021 ..in lib folder?
If you have placed the MapleCalculus7 folder at the "top level" on your c: drive, nothing else needs to be done. When you now open the contents.mws worksheet in your MapleCalculus7 folder, you can execute worksheet commands with all extra features available, and you can save altered worksheets "in place".
Folder MapleCalulus7 is placed at top level ( the first folder on my sdd drive) Now i must chance the path in the maple.ini in .....? this one hereunder is wrong ? libname:=`c:/Program Files\Maple 2021\toolbox\MapleCalculus7/CALC/calc`,`c:/Program Files\Maple 2021\toolbox\MapleCalculus7/CALCPLOT/calcplot`,libname:
interface(labelling=false, showassumed=0, warnlevel=0):
================== correct?================= libname:=`c:/MapleCalculus7/calc`,`c:/MapleCalculus7/calcplot`,libname:
interface(labelling=false, showassumed=0, warnlevel=0): ============================================
Option 3
But if you have placed the MapleCalculus7 folder within some other folder on your hard drive, then you must use a text editor (such as NotePad) to edit this copied maple.ini file to specify the paths to the calc and calcplot files in the MapleCalculus7 folder on your hard disk. For instance, change the line
libname:=`c:/MapleCalculus7/calc`, `c:/MapleCalculus7/calcplot`,libname:
to a line of the form
libname:=`c:/EdwardsPenney/MapleCalculus7/calc`,`c:/EdwardsPenney/MapleCalculus7/calcplot`,libname:
that specifies the actual path to the location where you have placed the MapleCalculus7 folder on your own hard drive. For instance, if instead of c:/EdwardsPenney you have a c:/MyCourses/CalculusI folder within which you have placed your MapleCalculus7 folder, then your maple.ini file should contain the line
libname:=`c:/MyCourses/CalculusI/MapleCalculus7/calc`,`c:/MyCourses/CalculusI/MapleCalculus7/calcplot`, libname:
