Maple在弹性力学教学中的应用

弹性力学具有很强的理论性、抽象性和高度概括性的特点，而且它的求解过程对数学运算依赖性大，所以加大了学生的学习难度。Maple是一个具有强大符号运算能力、数值计算能力和图形处理能力的交互式计算机代数系统，可以利用它解决各种方程、方程组、微分方程、线性代数等数学问题。因此，可以利用maple来求解弹性力学中的一些具体问题，具体实例表明，将Maple软件应用到弹性力学的教学中可以减轻学生对数学运算的依赖性，减小学习难度，使弹性力学从抽象变得直观。从而为弹性力学教学提供了一种方便、快捷地实现直观性教学的方法。

Maple in elasticity teaching

Elasticity has highly theoretical, abstract and highly generalized characteristics. And it＇s solving process large dependence on the math, therefore increasing the difficulty of learning. Maple is a powerful symbolic computing power, numerical computing power and graphics capabilities of interactive computer algebra system. You can use it to solve a variety of equations, equations, differential equations, linear algebra and other mathematical problems. Therefore, we can use maple to solve elasticity some specific issues .Specific examples show Maple software will be applied to the teaching of elasticity can reduce students＇ dependence on math, reduce the learning curve. The elasticity becomes intuitive from the abstract, thus elasticity teaching provides a convenient, quick and intuitive method of teaching.
