If you want to read text and some graphics from the web and build your own maple worksheet (probably the best way to learn), start here.				Easy1	Easy2	Easy3	Fancy1	Fancy2	Fancy3
If you want to open an existing worksheet in Maple and modify it as you go along, start here.				Easy1.mws	Easy2.mws	Easy3.mws	Fancy1.mws	Fancy2.mws	Fancy3.mws

When you click on one of the worksheets just above, it will come up in Netscape looking like gibberish. Nonetheless, Maple will be able to open and execute this file, after you have saved it to a working directory. To do this, you go to File, and SaveAs, and put it in your working directory. When you launch Maple, it will be able to open and execute this file.
