This book provides an accelerated introduction to Maple for scientific programmers who already have experience in other computer languages (such as C, Pascal, or FORTRAN). It gives an overview of the most commonly used constructs and an elementary introduction to Maple programming. The new edition is substantially updated throughout. In particular, there are new programming features especially modules, nested lexical scopes, documentation features, and object-oriented support), a new solution of differential equations, and new plotting features.Review of Earlier Edition"It is especially nice for people like us, who have done some C and FORTRAN programming in our time, but would like to take better advantage of a tool like Maple. It discusses things of key importance to a scientific programmer and does not go on and on with things you'd never use anyway. The examples are terrific--beyond description. I have informed my colleagues here that this is a must-have..." (Brynjulf Owren, Department of Mathematical Sciences, The Norwegian Institute of Technology)
Fans of Miss Rumphius will adore this gorgeous picture book which introduces the kind, nature-loving Miss Maple, who celebrates the miracle in each seed.Miss Maple gathers lost seeds that haven’t yet found a place to sprout. She takes them on field trips to explore places to grow. In her cozy maple tree house, she nurtures them; keeping them safe and warm until it's time for them to find roots of their own, and grow into the magnificent plants they’re destined to become.Eliza Wheeler’s luminous paintings feature gorgeous landscapes, lush foliage and charming details. Her tender story celebrates the potential found in each seed—since even the grandest tree and most brilliant flower had to grow from the smallest of seeds.Celebrate every season with Miss Maple, from Earth Day to graduations to harvest festivals.
What happens to seeds that don't sprout? Fortunately, they have Miss Maple to look after them. Every year, she rescues orphan seeds, taking them to her cozy maple tree house. All winter long, she nurtures them and teaches them the ways of seeds and the paths by which they might find their new homes. And come spring, she sends them off to take root out in the wide world and to sprout into the wonderful plants she knows they'll become.
Jessie Maple has a well-deserved reputation as a leader for Black women's rights and independent film advancement. Her first book, How to Become a Union Camerawoman, shared her journey to becoming the first African-American woman to join New York's camera operator's union. Her trailblazing accomplishments in the film industry include recognition as the first Black woman to write and produce a full-length film independently. While many have chronicled Maple's significant contributions to the industry, none have captured the moments of her career that are most meaningful - the people, the crew, the family - she assembled. The Maple Crew picks up where her debut title left off, offering a personal account of her experiences after the outcome of her discrimination appeal against a news network and the years that followed. Jessie Maple draws readers in by providing a candid glimpse into the episodes that were known as her life.
Learn how to use the modern techniques offered by Maple V, a powerful and popular computer algebra system. The Maple V Primer: Release 4 covers all the basic topics a reader needs to know to use Maple V in its major revision encompassed in Release 4 to do algebra and calculus, solve equations, graph 2- and 3-dimensional plots, perform simple programming tasks, and prepare mathematical documents. Every common command and function is supported by a specific example, so you won't waste time struggling with the syntax. Graphs, plots, and other Maple output are provided along with the syntax, so the user knows what to expect when she or he uses a particular command. And all the examples come with a short discussion, answering questions you might have about applying the example to your own work. This is a painless - even fun - way to learn how to use Maple V.
Maple syrup is a genuine product of the north, made only in the north-eastern quarter of the United States and adjoining Canadian provinces. The Ojibwe and Dakota used it as a seasoning and also cooked it down to a crystallised state to preserve and transport it. Today, locally produced pure maple syrup is regarded as an artisan product, prized by cooks and bakers alike. Minnesota and Wisconsin are home to numerous syrup producers, from family-run operations that do everything from collection to boiling and bottling to large packagers that buy raw sap to process and sell. 'Modern Maple' celebrates this local treasure in ways both traditional and contemporary, with seventy-five recipes using maple to season, flavour, and sweeten dishes ranging from traditional breakfast favourites to appetisers, sandwiches, vegetables, main courses, breads, and desserts. Grilled Radicchio with Maple Drizzle and Goat Cheese, Pecan-Crusted Chicken with Maple Apples, Cardamom-Maple Swirl Bread, Roasted Carrot-Ginger Soup with Maple, and Maple Baklava are just a few of the delights that await.A special section on backyard syruping gives complete but easy instructions for making home-made syrup on a very small scale -- a fun and interesting hobby that pays dividends in the kitchen.
June Crow has spent every summer of his life in Bass Lake, California; soaking up the sun, getting in trouble with his beloved best friend, and escaping the reality that is his otherwise miserable life. Summer is what makes June's world go around-hell, even his name suggests that-so when his parents decide not to renew their contract renting the cabin, June decides he deserves at least a chance to say goodbye. This is his last summer, after all. So, he runs away. Simple, right? As it turns out, nothing is simple when you're eighteen. Not the cabin. Not the lake. And certainly not Aaron Valentine; the insecure, attractive, afraid-of-the-dark boy from Portland who shows up in the middle of the night.
