Maple functions from the CalcP package.

These functions are all specifically written for use in calculus. The list below gives the names of the procedures we will be using, as well as brief descriptions. Maple help screens are available for all of these functions, so refer to them for further examples.

VDiff

Differentiates vector-valued functions.

VPlot

Plots vector-valued functions in two and three dimensions.

VMag

Computes the magnitude of a vector.

ParamPlot

Animates parametric curves in two dimensions.

ParamPlot3D

Animates parametric curves in three dimensions.

Speed

Computes the speed of a particle moving on a path defined by a vector-valued function .
