MaplePrimes
Originally uploaded by redune.
Over the last few months at Maplesoft, I have been working on this website called MaplePrimes.
We are officially launching the site today and I thought that I'd like to share the
site with readers of redune.com. If you are interested in seeing the development of
a cool new mathematically focused community, please check it out. Below is the official
announcement:
A new website www.mapleprimes.com has been
created to offer a moderated community for Maple users to communicate and share techniques
with each other. The site is sponsored by Maplesoft,
though most of the content is expected to be contributed by the user community.
Two of the most significant features of MaplePrimes are moderated forums and weblogs
(blogs).
The forums function much like comp.soft-sys.math.maple and
other public Maple forums, where people can post their questions and have them answered
by the community. The difference is that the MaplePrimes forums will be monitored
and moderated by Maplesoft selected community members. And for questions that the
user community cannot answer, Maplesoft developers will be there to help as well.
The blogs allow any user to share their
experiences with Maple and mathematics. MaplePrimes provides a place where like minded
people can show off their latest findings, share Maple procedures or chat about their
favorite theorems.
Throughout the site many special features are available. The most interesting is the
ability to post mathematics in
2D notation like you would find in a textbook. It is as easy as either entering MathML
or the Maple syntax for the math you want to appear.
Overall, we would like MaplePrimes to become the first complete Mathematical portal.
MaplePrimes should allow anyone with any Math knowledge get help and share what they
find. We have a number of ideas in development that will add to this.
Please go and check it out at http://beta.mapleprimes.com.
I hope that you will find the site to be very useful and come back to visit often.
