Advice for Maple Problem Sets

Plan to work on the problems in at least two sessions. The first session should be about a week before the assignment is due.

Read the problems.
Think about the issues.
Jot down notes about how to use Maple.

Do the problems at a computer.

When you get stuck on one problem, go to the next one.

Use a separate worksheet for each problem.
Save often.
Print out your work before leaving the computer.

Think about the problems, read over your work, find your gaps, mistakes, etc., and figure out how to fill in the missing parts.

A few days later, go back to the computer.

If you understand the theory, that will help you interpret and understand the Maple results.
This is often necessary to answer the Maple problems completely.

Reminder: You may work in groups of up to three.

Each group should turn in only one solution, with the names of all the members on the solution.
