Maple 17 is an updated version of the math and science program.

This is an ideal program for those who need help with math and science or those who enjoy learning about the subjects. You can enter various equations and word problems into the program to get a description of how to solve the problem. You have a way to see every step of how to solve the problem to get the answer. Pictures and graphs are used in giving explanations. There are also detailed explanations using words that are easy to understand even if you aren't that great at math and science.

There are a few new features with this edition that most people will enjoy. You'll see pop-ups that give you hints and tips on how to solve a problem if you don't want to see an answer right away. It's easier to drag numbers and information around on the screen. Menus are easier to follow as there are boxes that have subjects divided. You will see new choices for solving problems, such as completing the square and various algebraic equations. The visual improvements are the most stunning as the images are clearer. Numbers and letters are in fonts that are easy to see instead of searching and trying to decipher the information that is on the screen. Suggested results are also seen on the screen as a way to give you a prompt of how to complete the equation before seeing the final answer.
