December 15, 2008 - PRESS RELEASE MapleSim, the new high-performance multi-domain modeling and simulation tool from Maplesoft, is now available for purchase globally. The product, well-honed from months of intense pilot testing and feedback from approximately fifteen hundred organizations spanning 85 countries, is expected to set new standards in modeling and simulation. By generating model equations in symbolic form, MapleSim helps teachers to quickly demonstrate the connection between modeling concepts and the underlying mathematical theory to their students. December 11, 2008 - PRESS RELEASE A new version of the Maplesoft-MAA Placement Test Suite is now available. The Placement Test Suite is a collection of placement tests developed by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) and administered through Maple T.A.™, a web-based system from Maplesoft, which automatically assesses student responses and performance. Recent Media Coverage Symbolic computation delivers advances for model creation Control Engineering, November 18, 2008 In Control Engineering magazine Maplesoft's Tom Lee discusses the benefits of using symbolic computation for model creation. He argues that “the control community is witnessing a major transformation in the way the models are created and solved.” ...more Can We Now Work Smarter and Faster? Electronic Product Design, November 16, 2008 Maplesoft's Tom Lee writes in the Electronic Product Design magazine that computers have changed the way engineers operate and that they can now work smarter, not necessarily harder, to make innovative advances in their field. ...more Seat Belt Design Automotive DesignLine, November 15, 2008 The use of Maplesoft products in the new and emerging pre-crash shoulder belt tensioning technology that enables reduction of automotive crash injuries is discussed here. “DynaFlexPro proved to be the fastest way to describe the system,” said Craig Good, the researcher. “I was able to very quickly generate equations of motion and verify the data.” ...more Media Contacts Tina George | Maplesoft | Ph: +1 519 747 2373 Ext 352 Email: tgeorge@maplesoft.com Media Resources   • About Maplesoft • Products, Features & Benefits • Product Suite • Awards • Company Fact Sheet • Maple (Professional) Overview • Maple (Academic) Overview • Professional Business Overview • Academic Business Overview • Logos & Images User Case Studies Financial Engineers at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities International Use Maple in Multi-asset Product Development Maplesoft October 2, 2008 The latest release of Maple offers quantitative finance professionals a platform for maximizing their productivity and efficiency. Maple’s powerful mathematical engine and sophisticated algorithms deliver a rich environment for modeling financial products and for process optimization.  “In the world of financial options, analytical results are not always obvious, and testing for their existence can be a tedious and lengthy process. Employing Maple makes it very different; if a symbolic solution exists, Maple finds it quickly and correctly,” said Igor Hlivka of Mitsubishi UFJ Securities International. He recently developed a series of applications using Maple for multi-asset product development and for deriving semi-analytical solutions to non-standard options where multivariate stochastic processes play a determining role ...more
