A Maple Manual for Engineering Mechanics

This supplement is intended to teach the reader how to solve dynamics problems using Maple. While the manual suggests ways to use Maple to enhance your understanding of dynamics and teaches you efficient computational skills, you should feel free to browse the Maple manual and create your own methods for solving problems and for using Maple. Quality technical documents can be created entirely within Maple. These manuals are an example of this, demonstrating the software's capability. As a consequence, the input and output for formats presented in this manual are consistent with actual Maple input and output. The first chapter is a general introduction to Maple that concludes with a sample application and can be studied while reading the first chapter of the accompanying text.
