Access to MapleNet now available from any language that supports integrated web services

Latest version of MapleNet makes it easier than ever to incorporate powerful mathematical services and content on web sites.

Waterloo, Canada : Maplesoft™, a provider of high-performance software tools for mathematics, engineering, and research, today announced the latest version of its product MapleNet™, which enables thedeployment of live technical knowledge and applications on the web. MapleNet 13 is an easy and convenient tool for sharing live calculations, interactive technical documents, and mathematical services over the Internet.

MapleNet 13 makes it easy for programmers and non-programmers alike to provide rich mathematical content and sophisticated plots in interactive applications and web content. MapleNet also provides a standard web services application programming interface (API), making the computational power of Maple™ available everywhere you are connected -- on a web site, desktop computer, or mobile device.

Web content that requires use of static plots and mathematical expressions, such as those often found in technical reports or course notes, can now be created easily by including a special hyperlink to MapleNet in the web page. No web programming knowledge or tools are required. MapleNet will automatically generate and display an image of the mathematical expression or plot in the web page.

MapleNet 13 uses the most powerful and extensive mathematical engine available to perform its computations. Maple 13, the newest release of the world-renowned technical computing software, includes enhancements to its mathematical and plotting abilities that provide additional power and increased performance to MapleNet users.

“MapleNet has always been a great tool for preserving and sharing technical knowledge; now it has an even greater role to play in an organization,” said Laurent Bernardin, Executive Vice President, Maplesoft. “It provides the perfect mechanism for using Maple’s power to generate web applications and then to rapidly exchange the technical knowledge in a way that can be used for analysis and problem solving. Companies now have a flexible and powerful system with significant gains in productivity and efficiency.”
