Applied MAPLE for engineers and scientists

Steven Adams, Christopher S. Tocci0890068534, 9780890068533

MAPLE is easy-to-use software that performs numerical and symbolic analysis to solve complex mathematical problems. A reference for engineers, scientists, and application developers, it shows you how to tap the full power of MAPLE in solving real-world engineering problems in circuit theory, control theory, curve fitting, mechanics and digital signal processing. The book includes more than 65 figure, 100 equatiions, and accompanying software that includes exercises, MAPLE features and MAPLE subroutines.
