Maple

• Easy access to a collection of user-created Maple packages from inside Maple using a significantly improved MapleCloud interface
• One click installation of packages for immediate use
• Growing list of available packages includes encryption, optimization, orthogonal series expansions, lattices, and more
• Automatic notification of updates to packages you have installed
• New tools for programmatically authoring and editing Maple packages that make it easier to turn your own work into a shareable Maple package
• Easy uploading and sharing of your own packages through the new Packages group in the MapleCloud

• The Plot Builder supports the creation and customization of a wide variety of 2-D and 3-D plots through a point-and-click interface.
• The Plot Builder interface panel emerges from the right-hand side of your workspace when needed, and disappears again when you are done.
• You can switch seamlessly between the plot builder and the rest of your document.
• The plot appears directly in your document and is updated immediately every time you make a change to the plot options, with no preview window required.
• The options adjust dynamically in the panel, so that only relevant options are displayed, making it easy to find the selections you need.
• Supported plot types include 2-D, 3-D, contour, implicit, density, conformal, complex, and animated curve plots.
• Plot options and customizations include color, line style, gridlines, titles, legends, transparency, lighting, scaling, axis style, and much more.
• The Maple command corresponding to your chosen options is available, so you can recreate your plot programmatically if desired, using exactly the same options you selected using the Plot Builder.
• The Plot Builder is accessible through the context-sensitive menu, the Assistants menu, and by command.

• You can add dynamic plot annotations that will appear when you hover over specific points or curves, so you convey even more information in your graphs.
• Contour plots now have labels on the contours that appear when the pointer is placed over a contour line.
• The Thermophysical Data package now supports temperature-entropy charts for any pure fluid.
• Choropleths, which apply coloring to a map to represent the magnitude of a variable, can be generated using the new geographic data tools.
• The Signal Processing package includes new tools for generating a power spectrum plot.
• New statistical visualization tools are available for Venn diagrams, violin plots, and Weibull plots.
• Additional tools and options provide new options for generating and working with color data structures.
• You can now easily view the colors in a palette by displaying the names and associated colors in a table.

New map visualization tools and a geographical database let you explore and understand world data in a highly visual way.

• New tools enable you to create visualizations of world maps and display geographic data, such as world maps under different projections or the shortest paths between cities using great circles.
• Choropleth maps use gradient colors to convey the relative value for a given measurement, such as country literacy rates or population.
• A built-in geographic information database contains data for over one million geographic locations around the world, including name, latitude, longitude, region, country, population, and time zone.
• Data set handling tools allow you to ask for information such as 'which provinces in Canada have populations of over 4 million?' or 'find all places in the United States named Springfield'.

• You can now control many aspects of how a graph is drawn, including colors, line weights, and font choices, and graphs are now drawn in grayscale by default.
• A new command computes and returns the group of automorphisms of a given graph, represented as a permutation group.
• You can visualize the action of an automorphism of a graph as an animation.
• A command allows you to construct a canonical form of your graph by reordering the vertices.
• You can now compute the eccentricity of a graph at a specified vertex or compute the list of eccentricities at each vertex.
• The minimum eccentricity over the entire graph, known as the graph radius, can now be computed directly.
• The Special Graphs subpackage now includes built-in commands to generate Book, Chvátal, Folkman, Franklin, Frucht, and Hoffman graphs.
• File format support has been expanded to include import, export, and conversion support for the Digraph6 format, a concise text-based format for serializing a directed graph

• Expanded capabilities for finding many more limits of quotients of analytic functions in two variables
• Improved symbolic summation of expressions involving binomials
• Improvements to rationalizing and normalizing radical expressions
• Asymptotic expansions and limits of asymptotic cases of the incomplete gamma function
• More formal series expansions of inhomogeneous linear ODEs
• Ability to compute the Boolean expression corresponding to the parity function on a set of variables
• Expanded Number Theory package
• Additional simplifications involving LambertW functions

• New visualization tools for Venn diagrams, violin plots, and Weibull plots
• Ability to specify colors or provide a color scheme for bar charts and column graphs
• New option for detecting discontinuities in density plots
• New command for removing one or more columns from a data frame
• New command for changing the specified datatype of a data series and coercing any data in that data series into the given datatype, when possible
• Wider support for data frames and data series in general Maple commands, such as curve fitting routines, sort, and Describe

• Supports for MP4 files in the video component
• Separate control over visibility and expansion of code edit regions
• Ability to keep track of the selected items from Combo Box or List Box components by their index rather than their value

• Improved math editing now inserts an explicit multiplication symbol in certain cases, to help you avoid common errors in writing expressions and troubleshoot your work more quickly.
• You can now insert a sequence or range of equation labels in one easy step using the equation label dialog.
• You can now access the MapleCloud right from the worksheet toolbar, where you can log in, browse shared content, or check for updates on packages you've downloaded from the MapleCloud.
• Many more operations are now available in the context menu, including signal processing operations and curve fitting options for two-column matrices and data frames.
• New shortcut keys are available for interface zooming and help search.
• It is now easy to have more than one help page open at the same time.

The Maple Portal for Engineers provides a starting point for common engineering tasks. The significantly updated Portal now covers many more topics, includes more examples, and provides sample applications to help you become productive quickly. It includes information on math and programming, interface features for managing your projects, data analysis and visualization tools, working with physical and scientific data, and a variety of specialized topics. It also includes links to dozens of sample applications and examples taken from many different branches of engineering.
