Where to find more HELP and DOCUMENTATION about Maple
The X version of Maple uses graphical online help, which can be used
from the Help menu in the upper right corner, or by typing help
queries at the command line as described below. (The online help in
the TTY version has fewer features, but uses the same command-line
syntax.)
To get help on a specific topic, type:
> ?topic
For help on using the help system, type
> ?help
or > ?helpguide (X version only)
For a list of help topics, type
> ?index
To get a list of built-in variables (constants like 'Pi', etc.), type:
> ?ininames
To get a list of built-in routines (functions like 'sin', etc.), type:
> ?inifcns
