Its latest version can be purchased under several available licenses (Academic, Professional, Student, and Individual), but it can be also be tested for FREE with a 15-day TRIAL.

What's New in Maple 2024

AI Formula Assistant - NEW
Maple 2024 introduces a powerful AI-driven Formula Assistant to help you find the formulas and equations you need. It provides a selection of relevant options, explanations for each, and an easy way to insert the chosen formula into your document as a Maple expression.

Simplified Commands
With Maple 2024, you can execute unfamiliar commands correctly on the first try without needing to consult help pages. The command completion feature, combined with automatic argument completion, guides you through the process, ensuring you get the right arguments in the correct order.

Advanced Complex Solvers
New algorithms in Maple 2024 enable the software to find and approximate all complex roots of multivariate polynomial systems with guaranteed accuracy. It also offers significantly faster solutions for univariate cases.

Enhanced Check My Work
The Check My Work feature has been expanded to analyze each step of a student's solution in problems related to factoring, simplification, and limits, helping them identify and correct mistakes more efficiently.

Improved Simplify Command
The simplify command now expresses many trigonometric expressions more simply by utilizing the full range of standard trig functions, rather than relying solely on sine and cosine.

And many more!
