Place the contents of the cell either to the Left, to the Right, or in the Center of the cell.
Evaluation Method
Select an evaluation method.
Symbolic
This method gives an exact representation of the cell contents. For example,
Floating-Point
This method provides a decimal approximation for the contents of the cell. For example,
Precision
Specify two values to control the precision of floating-point numbers.
During Calculation
This value specifies the number of significant digits Maple uses for intermediate results when calculating the floating-point numbers.
Displayed Decimals
This value specifies the maximum number of decimal digits to display to the right of the floating point.
Use symbolic expressions as much as possible because they produce exact results. Simplify the final expression before selecting the Floating-Point evaluation check box in the Evaluation group box.
Cell Color
