The primary access to Maple for the Villanova University user is through a web browser and the Citrix gateway, provided an internet connection is available. Some alternatives exist.

Maple is locally installed on the computers at the UNIT public sites [Mendel G85, Tolentine basement]. Clicking on Maple worksheets in Windows Explorer or on URL hyperlinks to Maple worksheets on web pages automatically opens them in Maple when you select the Open option on the popup window. In Mendel computer classrooms G86, G87, G88, G90 and G92 [and in the MLRC], Maple is available locally from the Start menu, Program listing, Math Applications. This is the Single User version of Maple in the first 3 rooms, which means you cannot save the changes you make to your Preferences.

Some of these Mendel computer classrooms are not used in the late afternoons, so students may access Maple then. Check the calendar for when they are available.

Some of our math faculty have laptops as their primary office machines and have the network version of Maple installed which cannot run without checking the license server through the standard hard wire connection to the Villanova network. However, if they have internet access at home or traveling, by logging into the secure gateway,  they establish contact with this license machine and can run Maple.  Once logged on, click on the Secure Application Manager, minimize your browser and leave it in the background. Open Maple and work. Those who are part of the Maple Adoption Program have a single user version with their own license.

Maple Adoption Program

The Science and Engineering Calculus/Differential Equations with Linear Algebra sequence MAT 1500, 1505, 2500, 2705 all require the use of Maple. Instructors in these courses may choose to enroll in this program each semester, receiving a free local copy of Maple, manuals, and a T-shirt. During the semester for which an instructor has registered a specific section or sections of these courses, their students may then receive a single user copy of Maple for only $75 using a discount code provided to the instructor (compared to $99 dollars for the Student Edition without the adoption program discount). Of course this is totally unnecessary since one can access Maple through our citrixweb delivery if connected to the internet, but for those with some extra cash who really want a local copy of Maple that they can use while not connected to the internet, it is a pretty good deal.
