Join Maplesoft at ICTCM 2012!
Visit Maplesoft at the 24th Annual International Conference on Technology in Collegiate Mathematics (ICTCM), in Orlando Florida, March 22-25th, 2012 at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort. Stop by booth #3 for a custom demonstration of Maple, Maple T.A. and the Maplesoft MAA Placement Test Suite!
Maplesoft Presentations at ICTCM 2012:
 Clickable Calculus: Syntax-Free Computing in Maple
Friday March 23 from 5-5:45pm in Oceanic 5 of the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel
Presented by Dr. Robert J. Lopez
No need to register, walk-ins are welcome.
Teach the syllabus, not the CAS tool. With Maple’s “point-and-click” paradigm, you don’t have to teach the software because it’s virtually syntax-free. Using no commands, just palettes, Assistants, Tutors, and Task Templates, we’ll solve standard (and not so standard) problems from calculus, DE, and linear algebra.
Minicourse: Maple Task Templates: Build, Save, Distribute
Saturday March 24 from 10:30am-12:15pm in Asia 5
Presented by Dr. Robert J. Lopez
*Minicourses have limited enrollment. Attendees are required to pre-register. Please contact Diane Armstrong, ICTCM conference registrar at
diane.armstrong@pearson.com and indicate that you would like to add computer minicourse SAT – M11 to your registration.
Users can add to the existing 350 Task Templates in Maple, thus creating their own math applets that become part of Maple. This Minicourse will show how to build, save, and distribute user-created Task Templates constructed with Maple’s “embedded components.” Instruction on coding such components is included.

Live Webinar: Driveline Modeling and Simulation: Challenges and Solutions for HIL Simulation
Wednesday, March 21st at 10:00am ET
 In this webcast, Dr. Derek Wright, MapleSim Product Manager, and Dr. Orang Vahid, Senior Modeling Engineer, at Maplesoft will present some of the challenges faced by hardware- and software-in-the-loop (HIL and SIL) simulation of complex driveline models. These models present unique difficulties to engineers wishing to do control design and validation via HIL and SIL simulation. Specifically, there is often a trade-off necessary between model fidelity and simulation speed that may necessitate model approximations and result in reduced effectiveness of the designed controllers. Discussion will include the role of Modelica and acausal modeling in achieving manageable physical models and how symbolic formulations can increase simulation speed without reducing model fidelity.
