document: Maple 8 keeps everyone happy The author is impressed with the upgrade to the mathematics package Maple 8 , finding it genuinely useful to scientists and educators . The developments Waterloo Maple class as revolutionary include a student calculus package , and Maplets . The first provides a high-level command set for calculus exploration and plotting -LRB- removing the need to work with , say , plot primitives -RRB- . The second is a package for hand-coding custom graphical user interfaces -LRB- GUIs -RRB- using elements such as check boxes , radio buttons , slider bars and pull-down menus .
