Abstract
Macsyma, the first computer algebra software, was developed in 1959 at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There are currently a number of computer algebra programs available, such as Mathematica, Maple, etc. This paper focuses on Maple software for engineering technology education applications because it is easy to learn, which allows students to spend more time on engineering problems and less time learning a new computer language and programming
