Configuring Maple

Maple's user interface is quite customizable. Unfortunately its default settings are less than desirable. In fact, in my opinion they are so awful as to make Maple almost unusable.

Fortunately you can adjust those settings by following these simple instructions.

Bring up Maple. Then:

• On Linux or Windows, pull down the Tools menu and select Options....
• On a Mac, go to Maple menu and select Preferences.

1. In the dialog box, select the Display tab then change the value of Input display from 2-D Math Notation to Maple notation.
   
2. In the dialog box, select the Interface tab then change the value of Default format for new worksheets from Document to Worksheet.
   
3. Click the Apply Globally button at the bottom of the dialog box.
4. Quit Maple by pulling down the File menu (at the extreme upper left of the Maple display) and selecting Exit.

From now on, when you start Maple, the new settings will be the default.

Please note

The setting above will not convert any previous documents that you may have made under Maple's original settings. Sorry. They apply only to new worksheets that you will make after this configuration.
