Doing Exact Arithmetic with Maple
Точная Арифметика с Maple
To enter the square root of a number use sqrt( ) :
Notice that Maple has simplified but has left the answer in exact form.
In the next section you will learn how to get a decimal approximation for this number.
Maple has all of the important mathematical constants built in. To enter type Pi.
Notice that an asterisk * is required to indicate multiplication.
Again Maple carries out the calculation but leaves the answer in exact form.
Unlike your calculator, Maple gives you the exact answer when applying trigonometric functions.
To get the inverse sine of a number use the arcsin( ) function:
If you ask Maple to calculate a value that is undefined it will respond with an error message:
Error, (in tan) numeric exception: division by zero
