Here are some of the key concepts that we've studied in this lesson:
- User-defined functions are a powerful way of extending the
capabilities of Maple, or any programming language. By defining a function,
you can use the function without having to memorize the formula upon which it
is based.
- Maple provides the functions solve and fsolve to
solve equations.
- It is important to understand the role of parameters in defining and using user-defined
functions.
