Maple  不仅仅提供编程工具，更重要的是提供数学知识。Maple是教授、研究员、科学家、工程师、学生们必备的科学计算工具，从简单的数学计算到高度复杂的非线性问题，Maple都可以帮助您快速、高效地解决问题。用户通过Maple产品可以在单一的环境中完成多领域物理系统建模和仿真、符号计算、数值计算、程序设计、技术文件、报告演示、算法开发、外部程序连接等功能，满足各个层次用户的需要，从高中学生到高级研究人员。

Maple is the essential technical computing software for today’s engineers, mathematicians, and scientists. Whether you need to do quick calculations, develop design sheets, teach fundamental concepts, or produce sophisticated high-fidelity simulation models, Maple’s world-leading computation engine offers the breadth, depth, and performance to handle every type of mathematics.

The result of over 30 years of cutting-edge research and development, Maple helps you analyze, explore, visualize, and solve mathematical problems. With over 5000 functions, Maple offers the breadth, depth, and performance to handle every type of mathematics. Maple’s intuitive interface supports multiple styles of interaction, from Clickable Math tools to a sophisticated programming language. Using the smart document environment provided by Maple, you can automatically capture all of your technical knowledge in an electronic form that combines calculations, explanatory text and math, graphics, images, sound, and diagrams.
