Abstract
This research is devoted to teaching limit and derivative related topics through the help of Maple Programs from high
school based math.
This work shows how pupils may lean such issues by the help of Maple easily despite its being difficulty. Firstly herein
is tackled the writing instructions of limit and derivatives on the Maple programs. Later, there is discussed the topic
definition related issues and theorems.
After the definitions and derivatives are identified, some related examples are set from easy ones to complicate ones.
For writing some of limits and derivatives in a graphic styled way is also set exact examples by the help of program.
It was made much easier to be understood by pupils by preparing animation for graphics.
History
We begin with a brief history of Maple, from are search
project at a university to a leading position in education, research,
and industry.The first concept of Maple and initial versions were
developed by the Symbolic Computation Group at the
University of Waterloo in the early 1980s.Every year new version of MAPLE is released. Last version is MAPLE 18.
Limits
One of the first topics discussed in calculus is that of limits. Maple can be used to investigate limits graphically and
numerically. In addition, the Maple command
limit(f(x),x=a)
attempts to compute the limit of y = f (x) as x approaches a, limx→a f (x), where a can be a finite number,
∞(infinity),
or−
∞ (-infinity).
