Abstract

Symbolical manipulations are an essential part of using Maple, but powerful numerical facilities are available, too. That makes it easy to handle parts of a calculation with symbolical methods, so that the usual rounding problems when applying numerical procedures can be kept restricted to the remaining parts of the calculation. This combination of symbolical and numerical facilities makes Maple a very flexible and efficient tool. However, it may be necessary,for specialized purposes, to use other numerical software. Maple offers facilities for using the programming languages Fortran and C and the numerical software system Matlab. This chapter links up with section 2.8 on page 26 and section 2.9 on page 28 on floating-point numbers. Some special subjects on numerical approximations are discussed in connection with matching subjects in other chapters of this book.
