Maple 2018.0 Official

The most visible change in Maple 2018 was the introduction of the , which consolidated and improved the software's "Clickable Math" tools.

: Introduced support for interpolating data from arbitrary, unstructured locations using methods like Kriging and radial basis functions.

: Developers could now encrypt procedures to share executable code while hiding the underlying source code to protect intellectual property. Point-and-Click Problem Solving - What's New in Maple 2018 Maple 2018.0

The 2018.0 release focused heavily on optimizing "under-the-hood" operations to speed up complex calculations:

: Added the ability to perform calculations involving thermodynamic properties for over 2,000 chemical species, useful for analyzing chemical equilibrium and flame temperatures. The most visible change in Maple 2018 was

: New methods allowed for closed-form solutions to four new classes of second-order nonlinear ODEs and expanded support for PDEs in three independent variables. Connectivity and Security

: Units were more deeply integrated into the core engine, allowing top-level commands like solve , int , and fsolve to handle units-based expressions natively. Point-and-Click Problem Solving - What's New in Maple

: Optimizations to the F4 algorithm provided a 33% faster performance on quad-core systems by increasing parallel speedup.
