Suggestions on the final project:

You should submit a preliminary version

(by ftp) of your final project by April 24.

1. Possible topic: Learn to use 4 or more

words from a package in Maple such as

the plots package and construct worksheets which make use of the words.

2. Another possible topic: Take 4 or more word problems from an algebra book and solve them in a series of Maple worksheets. Make up related problems to solve.

1. Develop your project in one directory.so that all the mws, tex, eps, and ps fileswill be in one place. 2.
