GETTING STARTED WITH MAPLE IN LY 215
When you first sit down at a computer in LY 215, you should be confronted by the following message:

Simply follow the stated directions to get started, that is, press the following keys simultaneously: Ctrl, Alt, and Delete.

LOGGING ON

In order to use the computer labs at KU, you must have a Windows account.

If you do not already have a Windows account, follow the directions written on the board in the front of the room to set up your own account. (You will have to do this only once. After that first time, you can then proceed to the directions immediately below.)

If you already have a Windows account, fill in your “User name” and “Password.” Make sure that the third box is set to “STUDENTS.” (If it isn’t, move your cursor over top of the little downward-pointing arrow, press down on the left mouse button, scroll down to “STUDENTS,” and release the mouse button.)

OPENING MAPLE

Once you have logged on successfully, you should eventually see the following screen. This is what is commonly referred to as the "Desktop."

Find the folder named "Math." It should be in the lower left corner (close-up view below), although it is possible that a previous user may have moved it to a different location on the Desktop.

Double-click on the "Math" folder. Its window will open up and should look similar to that shown below.

Double-click on the icon labeled "Classic Worksheet Maple 9.5" (circled in picture above).

After a few seconds, Maple should open, and you should see the following screen:

You are now ready to experiment with Maple. From here on, you should be able to follow the directions in the tutorials.
