Certicom's new
implementation saves considerable time when verifying a signature, a
critically important step in the digital signature process. From complex computations to basic math concepts, Maple 10
opens the door to easier understanding and better productivity and
results for researchers, professors and students. It includes expression templates, a handwriting
palette, over a thousand mathematical symbols, and automatic
equation numbering. For example,
right clicking an expression provides a menu of commands that
are only meaningful to that particular expression.

Major plotting and animation enhancements, such as an
automated point-and-click Plot Builder, gridlines , axes
properties, and glossiness of surfaces make it fast and easy
to visualize and present results in intuitive, high-quality
2-D and 3-D graphics.

Maple 10 enables users to convey information
in a familiar way, such as the look and feel of a textbook or
technical paper, and also as executable documents that provide the
final answer.
In addition to being a premier research tool, Maple 10 enables
educators to deliver dynamic course content and illustrate even the
most difficult concepts. Math, engineering and science instructors can
engage students like never before by using Maple 10 to offer
interactive demonstrations and explorations, as well as to prepare
lecture material, handouts, and exercises.
Furthermore, Maple 10 improves student comprehension levels and
scholastic performance by providing the ability to illustrate
mathematical concepts, visualize problems and illuminate theory. I have been teaching with Maple for more
than 15 years and Maple is so different from what it was years ago.
