                    |  | With over 270 new mathematical functions and over a   thousand enhancements to existing algorithms, Maple 15 customers can   solve more complex problems faster than ever before. It's second to none in terms of scalability and  performance due to highly   efficient fundamental operations, sophisticated algorithms for advanced   operations, and numerous options to fully leverage the  power of   multi-core computers. It can also compute symbolic solutions to   differential equations that no other system can handle, and now solves   an  unprecedented 97% of the benchmark standard for differential   equations, putting  it far ahead of the nearest competitor. With Maple 15, users can work effectively with large  datasets and   create even more compelling interactive applications using the new  data   table.  With the new variable  manager, they can gain greater control   over their Maple sessions, quickly  assessing the state of their   computations. Customers can also take advantage of the latest in   interactive Clickable Math™ tools, including over 40 new   mini-demonstrations for exploring and  illustrating common mathematical   concepts. “Maple 15 is the most important Maple release in the last 5 years,   and we are very excited to be able  to share it with our customers,”   says Laurent Bernardin, Executive Vice-President and Chief Scientist,    Maplesoft. “We know they face challenging problems every day, from   designing the Mars Exploration Rovers to teaching the fundamentals of   calculus.  We are proud that the improvements in Maple 15 will make an   important  contribution to their success.” “Maple 15 is impressive. I found useful improvements across the entire product, and I’m especially happy with the new parallel computation features. I’ve already noticed a speed-up in many Maple computations, and I’m sure it’s going to have a big impact on my research projects, too,” says Dr. Amir Khajepour, Canada Research Chair in Mechatronic Vehicle Systems and 
Professor of Engineering at the University of Waterloo.  Read a blog written by Dr. Laurent Bernardin, Maplesoft's 
                Executive Vice-President & Chief Scientist, as he describes the guiding principle behind Maple's development and exciting new features in Maple 15.  Next Steps:

 Driven by the needs of the consumer auto industry, “symbolic   computation” based physical model development has broken through some   key barriers in HIL testing. For example, full vehicle models for   dynamics, multi-domain models of HEV powertrains, and detailed dynamic   models of special subsystems, such as crane arms, are challenging the   traditional engineering workflow. Featuring numerous case studies and   technique demonstrations, this webcast will explore new modeling   techniques to accelerate model development while increasing model   fidelity and simulation performance. It will show how to achieve   efficient high-fidelity system modeling for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)   and control applications whether you’re working on passenger cars or   commercial vehicles. In addition, this webcast will provide you with   practical knowledge on quickly improving or implementing model-based   design (MBD) techniques.

 This   document reads and parses color data using the new HTTP package and   uses the data to quiz you on your color knowledge.  It uses the CIE94   color difference metric to choose pairs of colors which are closer and   closer together to make the quiz more challenging as your get more   answers correct. See if you can get more than 300 points!
