MAPLE 8
is a powerful mathematical problem-solving and visualization system used world-wide in education,
research and industry. Its principle strength is its symbolic problem solving
algorythms. Unlike conventional math software, which can only work with
floating-point numbers, Maple 8 can solve problems involving formal mathematical
definitions and return answers as mathematical
objects.
You can run Maple 8 on narwhal, rorqual, orca, and beluga. The software needs X-Windows
environment (to install this software, look
at details in (*)
In order to use Mapple
8, Windows 98/2000 user should
1) Run "Xsession"
from Start/Programs/X-Winpro v4.2/Xsession
2) log on
(connect) beluga.cc.metu.edu.tr or orca.cc.metu.edu.tr
with
his/her metu account
via telnet/ ssh
3) type the
following command
export DISPLAY=ipaddress:0.
(Note that
Win 98 user can determine ipaddress from Start/Run/ by typing
winipcfg
command.
Win 2000 user
can get ipaddress from Start/Run/ by typing command and then
ipconfig).
For example ipaddress
is of the form 144.122.136.41)
4) start a Maple
8 session by entering the following command;
xmaple
Manuals for the software
are available in CC-Library (CC Room No:109)
( it can be reserved

(*) For X-Windows
Environment, first one should follow the below steps
1) Installation of
XWinPro
a) Source of
Programs is available on TORE
(\\tore\Utilities\Xwindows\XWinPro32)
b) Run xwp32-42.exe
, but in the first WinZip
Self-Extractor dialog
screen, remember to disable "When Done Unzipping
Run: SETUP.EXE"
option.
c) Run/extract this
license32bit4.2.exe to the same directory where you just stored X-WinPro's
installation files (default is c:\xinstall).
d) License.exe file
includes the files disk1.id and xwpdllid.dll. When you extract license.exe
to X-WinPro's installation directory, you have to replace the existing
disk1.id and xwpdllid.dll with files which come with license.exe
e) Install
X-WinPro (run c:\xinstall\setup.exe)
Note : 1) In
our computer lab's computers you can find X-WinPro software and use
xmaple with following 4 steps described
above.
2) One can reach the information about other METU licensed software available
on beluga, orca via the following url
