Abstract
Representing and manipulating expressions in symbolic mode; that is, in terms of variables, functions, and exact constants, is a powerful feature of the Maple system. However, practical scientific computation also demands floating-point calculations which represent quantities by approximate numerical values. Typically, numerical computations are used for one of three reasons.
