 Maple is a software that helps the user to develop their own computer algebra system. Maple software can be purchased either online or offline. Maplesoft. a software company also based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The current major version is version 17 which was released in March 2013.

Maplesoft products have helped institutions offer more progressive instruction to students in mathematics, engineering, and science. The generations of Maplesoft products have made flexible and intelligent mathematical computing an essential component of modern education. By using the Maple software, people can gain the benefits or advantages which are Maple has the full power of the advanced mathematical software Maple behind it. Maple has the ability to represent and solve problems in pre-calculus, calculus, linear algebra, abstract algebra, vector calculus, statistics, number theory, group theory, and more. The powerful Maple can determine mathematical equivalences, and automatically grade the student response appropriately. Like a human teaching assistant, Maple will detect when the response is equivalent to the programmed answer, instead of doing a mindless simple comparison.

Comparison between Maple and another mathematical software, Mathematica.

Maple	Mathematica
1. Maple has a software floating point model which is an extension of IEEE 754.	1. Mathematica provides a floating point arithmetic model that allows precision tracking to identify and control the propagation of rounding errors.
2. Maple supports only data.	2. It has data models for data, censored data and temporal data.
3. Maple is more powerful on solving Integral equations, differential equations and Groebner basis.	3. Mathematica is more powerful for integration, recurrence relations, equation solving and simplification.
4. Maple can declare symbols to be real, complex, or within intervals.	4. It can declare real, complex, interval and integer attributes.
5. Maple provides 3D fly-by views , which it can display all your equations look the same as they do in your textbook	5. Mathematica does not provide 3D fly-by views.
