Performance Improvements Maple continues to make improvements to the efficiency of the computation engine, resulting in faster computations that use less memory. Maple 12 highlights:
Many block-copy operations on matrices can now be done much more efficiently, since no intermediate object needs to be created.
The expansion of large symbolic polynomials has been improved.
Several enhancements have been made to the zip command, resulting in speed-ups of over 100 times in some cases.
"Without the Maple software, we would have to spend weeks generating the equations of motion for every experiment. Then the chances that we did it right would basically be near zero. There would always be a mistake somewhere. It is very difficult to set up a dynamic motion model by hand." - Jean-Claude PiedBeouf, Ph.D Manager of Robotics, Canadian Space Agency
"Its very good - highly accurate and easy to use. The speed of Maple allows me to change equations and quickly reintegrate them into the application, so more possibilities can be explored to achieve the precise effect desired." Shawn Neely, Senior R & D Director for PDI/Dreamworks
