New Software Aims To Make Big Data Analysis Easier, Faster
Maplesoft has introduced a new version of its mathematical
computing software that it says will enhance educators' ability to
access,
analyze and visualize data.
Company officials say a new version of its flagship
software
product, Maple 2015, will allow users to more freely access data from
finance,
economics and demographics, including macroeconomic data, statistics and
complicated financial information.
Advances in Maple's computation engine and interface
include:
- More customization that allows for application
and content creation;
- More advanced mathematical calculations that involve
differential equations, group theory and physics, among others;
- New math tools;
- Expanded support for statistics education including
new tutors
and learning statistics; and
- More online sharing of documents and interactive
applications through
the cloud.
"The new facilities for handling data sets make it
easier to
use Maple to examine important global trends and make sense of the reams
of
data that surround us," said Maplesoft Executive Vice President and
Chief
Scientist Laurent Bernardin. "Maple helps educators, students,
scientists,
engineers and researchers get their work done quickly and reliably."
Maple is available in several languages besides
English,
including French, Mandarin, Portuguese and Japanese.
