DESCRIPTION:I&#39\;m tempted to advertise this as "Not Your Parent&#39\;s 
 Maple"\, but on the off-chance that Pedro Gonnet drops in (or watches the 
 recording)\, I won&#39\;t.  Maple is a computer algebra system and a PSE (
 Problem Solving Environment) and has been in wide use since its invention 
 in the early 1980&#39\;s.  A lot has changed since then.  In this first ho
 ur I will give an overview: Getting Started\, What you can and can&#39\;t 
 do in Computer Algebra\; Linear Algebra (actually I am going to "punt" tha
 t and let you read our chapter in the CRC Handbook of Linear Algebra\, Les
 lie Hogben ed\, 2nd ed\; there is an online copy you can read in the Betty
  and Gordon Moore Library)\; and choose from about a dozen other topics in
 cluding integration\, differential equations\, solving multivariate polyno
 mial systems\, and a listing of the current packages in Maple (more than a
  hundred and forty of them).  <br>
