Maple 2018.0 Access
Released in March 2018, introduced substantial updates focusing on user experience, specialized mathematical packages, and significant performance gains in core computational areas. Major Interface and User Experience Updates
: New methods allowed for closed-form solutions to four new classes of second-order nonlinear ODEs and expanded support for PDEs in three independent variables. Connectivity and Security Maple 2018.0
: Added the ability to perform calculations involving thermodynamic properties for over 2,000 chemical species, useful for analyzing chemical equilibrium and flame temperatures. : New features allowed users to lock documents
: New features allowed users to lock documents or specific tables to prevent accidental modifications while still allowing interactive components like sliders to function. : A new Calendar package introduced dedicated objects
: Optimizations to the F4 algorithm provided a 33% faster performance on quad-core systems by increasing parallel speedup.
: A new package based on Qhull for computing convex hulls, Voronoi diagrams, and Delaunay triangulations.
: A new Calendar package introduced dedicated objects for dates, times, and clocks, supporting time zones and daylight savings for time-dependent data analysis. Engine and Performance Enhancements
