MapleNet provides educational institutions with a complete set of infrastructure and client tools for online education in mathematics and mathematics-dependent courses.
MapleNet allows authors/professors to create exercises and learning objects that are interactive and easy to use.
The student requires only a Java-enabled web browser to interface with the material.
MapleNet is derived from the legendary Maple software system, widely recognised as the most trusted desktop application for exploring mathematics and developing mathematical applications.
Consequently, the scope of learning objects that can be created with MapleNet is virtually unlimited, as the Maple engine supports computation ranging from high-school level algebra to research-level theory.
MapleNet is available from Adept Scientific in the UK. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
