Reviews for Understanding Maple
'Thompson (Univ. of Liverpool, UK) clearly knows the 'gotchas' that most often plague beginners (and others!) and provides pointed guidance; extracting the same vital information buried in longer and more systematic treatises and manuals can certainly prove a challenge. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals.' D. V. Feldman, CHOICE
