Packages of Library Functions

Specialized libraries, or "packages," can be used through the Extended Toolbox. These packages include

• Combinatorial Functions
• Differential Equation Tools
• Differential Forms
• Domains of Computation
• Euclidean Geometry
• Gaussian Integers
• Gröbner Bases
• Permutation and Finitely Presented Groups
• Lie Symmetries
• Boolean Logic
• Graph Networks
• Newman-Penrose Formalism
• Number Theory
• Numerical Approximation
• Orthogonal Polynomials
• p-adic Numbers
• Formal Power Series
• Projective Geometry
• Simplex Linear Optimization
• Statistics
• Total Orders on Names
• Galois Fields
• Linear Recurrence Relation Tools
• Financial Mathematics
• Rational Generating Functions
• Tensor Computations

You can use the Maple with command to load these packages. Say, for example, that you want to use the orthogonal polynomials package. First get the Maple name of this package, using the statement

• mhelp index[packages]
  

which returns

• Index of descriptions for packages of library functions
  
  Description:
  - The following packages are available: 
      ...
      orthopoly   orthogonal polynomials 
      ...
  

You can then can access information about the package

• mhelp orthopoly
  

To load the package, type

• maple('with(orthopoly);')
  

This returns

• ans =
  [G, H, L, P, T, U]
  

which is a listing of function names in the orthopoly package. These functions are now loaded in the Maple workspace, and you can use them as you would any regular Maple function.
