Webinar - MapleSoft Mathematical Software Company

TOPIC

Maple 11 - Global Optimization Toolkit

Abstract:

MapleSoft, of Waterloo, ON, has prepared a Webinar for the March 15th meeting of CORS-Calgary. Maple’s mathematical composition and analysis software is being updated and expanded with a new release this month, release 11. The focus we’ve requested for our Webinar is on uses of their “Global Optimization Toolkit,” which is aimed at solutions of multiple optimum problems. Some examples from areas of manufacturing, transportation and risk management were requested but the Webinar is a live conversation so we might change tack depending on participant’s suggestions and questions. Please take this opportunity to come out and have a leading math-package maker show us what their new product can do for some of the tougher OR optimization problems.

About the Presenters:

On their web site, http://www.maplesoft.com, you can find information on their basic software and related packages as well as downloadable publications that may be of interest.

There is no charge for attending the meeting. The room is available until 1:30 PM for those interested in staying afterwards to mingle and meet other OR practitioners.
