There are four modes of access.

(1) Direct install to computer

Download to computer for faculty and staff is available at  https://software.lehigh.edu/install/.

  • Option 1: In your office on Lehigh's Network:
  • Option 2: If you are installing Maple on a LU-owned computer but are not connected to the network:
  • Option 3: If you are installing Maple on a personally-owned computer.

(2) Virtualized LUapps version

Faculty, staff and students can use Maple off LUapps. For details, see: LUapps FAQ.

(3) Maple Study Guides

Faculty, staff, and students now have unlimited access to three Maple study guides. 

  • Precalculus Study Guide  
  • Calculus Study Guide  
  • Multivariate Calculus Study Guide.  

Once downloaded, they are accessible by clicking on them. Contact Brian Simboli for the download instructions. (Also, note that these guides are included in the next version of MapleSoft.)

(4) Note to instructors about student access to Maple        

If instructors recommend to students the use of the virtual version (LUApps) of Maple, but a student has difficulty accessing, the student should contact the help desk for assistance. If for technical reasons the problem cannot be rectified, the student should ask the help desk to contact Brian Simboli, who can  contact the vendor for a possible backup solution in such cases.

Faculty may also be interested in the following solution, if the LUApps version does not suffice for student needs.
