December 7, 2006 - Maplesoft’s Maple Toolbox for MATLAB® allows MATLAB users to benefit from Maple 10, the best mathematical software on the market for solving complex mathematical problems. The Toolbox considerably increases engineering productivity with up to 50 times faster performance than the MATLAB Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox. It also provides powerful ergonomic analysis functions as advanced statistics or graphics.With Maple Toolbox for MATLAB, engineers will now benefit from the power of mathematical solutions and analysis of Maple 10, while using the MATLAB technical computing language.
Maplesoft offers a technical computing solution that is tightly integrated with MATLAB, providing direct access to all the commands, variables, and functions of each product while working in either environment. MATLAB is widely used in industrial applications including signal and image processing, communications, control design, test and measurement.Maple Toolbox for MATLAB contributes to high speed computing up to 50 times faster than MATLAB’s Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox. It features an interactive technical document interface with an intuitive 2-D equation editor for typeset-quality mathematical presentation.
As well as providing access to Maple’s math engine, the Maple Toolbox for MATLAB includes powerful statistics, enhanced graphics, scientific constants, units and code generation for five languages: C, FORTAN, Microsoft Visual Basic, Java and MATLAB. Finally, Maple Toolbox for MATLAB further improves productivity by providing over 50 interactive assistants and tutors to aid engineers in the rapid development of solutions. The beta version was tested over a period of two months. Users are very enthusiastic about the combined advantage of having access to symbolic and numeric computations offered by both Maple and MATLAB.
“The feedback we received from those who tested the beta version reinforced our belief that this is a unique product with great problem-solving capabilities combining the strengths of two of the world’s best mathematical products”, said Jim Cooper, Maplesoft CEO.The Maple Toolbox for MATLAB consists of two components, Maple 10 – the most powerful and intuitive tool for solving complex mathematical problems and creating rich, executable technical documents – and the Maple-MATLAB Connector.
The Maple-MATLAB Connector is an add-on to Maple 10 that provides a two-way link between Maple and MATLAB, enabling users to define variables in either environment and to access them in both.The Toolbox will benefit companies involved in the design and development of engineering systems for the automotive, aerospace, biomedical, chemical processes and robotics markets and engineering schools that use both Maple and MATLAB.
