  \textbf{Advice for Maple Problem Sets}
\end{center}


Plan to work on the problems in at least two sessions.
The first session should be about a week before the assignment is due.
\begin{itemize}
\item
Read the problems.
\item
Think about the issues.
\item
Jot down notes about how to use Maple.
\end{itemize}

Do the problems at a computer.

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

\bigskip
Use a separate worksheet for each problem.

\bigskip
Save often.

\bigskip
Print out your work before leaving the computer.


\bigskip
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.

\bigskip
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.

\bigskip
You may work in groups of up to three.  
Each group should turn in \textbf{only} one solution,
with the names of all the members on the solution.
