Learning to Use Maple


1. You can add two numbers:
> 2 + 3;

                                  5

Notice the semicolon(;) at the end of the line.
It is used as a teminator for each statement in Maple.
2. You can also add fractions:
> 2/3 + 1/7;

                                  17
                                  --
                                  21

3. A number can be raised to a power:
> 2^5;

                                  32

4. What happens when you forgot to type the semicolon before you press Enter?
> 2 + 3
> ;

                                  5
