You can use the seq command to generate numeric sequences without specifying an index variable.  The one-parameter form is:

seq(1..4);

Also, you can now specify the size of the increment to use with seq.

seq(1..4, 1/2);

seq(f(i), i = 1..4, 1/2);

In Maple 10, the map command supports additional arguments in mappings over procedures that have special evaluation rules.

map(eval, [ 1 - x, 2 + x^2, sqrt(x) + 3 ], 'x'=0);

map(evalf, [ Pi, exp(1) ], 20);

Similar to map2, which maps over the second argument, map[n] allows mapping over the nth argument.

map[5](`+`, 1, 1, 1, 1, [ 10, 11, 12 ], 1, 1);

You can perform map operations using hardware floats.

M := LinearAlgebra[RandomMatrix](10^3, outputoptions = [ datatype = float[ 8 ] ]);

map[evalhf](`-`, M);

Mapping over Matrix, Array, and Vector datatypes can be done in-place.

M := Matrix([ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3, 4 ] ]);

map[inplace](`*`, M, 2);

M[ 1, 1 ];

The Describe command generates a brief description for many procedures, modules, and other Maple objects based on information stored in them. This is a quick alternative to reading entire help pages.
