Real Numbers: Maplesoft mathematic modeling software proves pivotal in leading engineering research

摘要

In engineering research, detail is vital. Researchers must not only develop models quickly, but they also require in-depth analytical tools to help them understand, on a fundamental level, the intricacies of their models. Researchers at many academic institutions have adopted MapleSim, advanced physical modeling software from Maplesoft, as a key tool in their engineering research activities. One of those researchers is Dr. Amir Khajepour, Professor of Engineering in the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Department at the University of Waterloo, who has used Maplesoft technology in his research projects over the past 10 years. Recently, Dr. Khajepour used MapleSim as part of an ongoing project with the Canada Space Agency, to develop a solution for the power management system of autonomous rovers.
