Good beginner book?

I just purchased Maple 10 to use in calculating transmission line drops and high voltage reactance tests.

Can some one recommend a good book to get me going to be able to produce reports using Maple 10 mathematics. I am muddling through some of the tutorials learning syntax and formatting.

Thanks,

Mike

electric circuits

While it isn't a book, and won't help you there, you might check out my Syrup package for analyzing electric circuits. It is available at the Maple website in the Applications section. It can read spice decks and symbolically solve them. For example,

with(Syrup):
ckt := "
V1 1 0
R1 1 2
C1 2 0
.end":
syrup(ckt, ac);

                       /                      V1     \ 
                      { v[1] = V1, v[2] = ----------- }
                       \                  1 + s C1 R1/ 
dsolve(syrup(ckt,tran));
                                          /    t  \   
                       v[C1](t) = V1 - exp|- -----| V1
                                          \  C1 R1/   

Alas, it doesn't have a transmission line element, but you might find it useful, regardless.

The link below has a pdf file that might be of use to you.

Old books

The pdf mentioned above uses Maple V R3, or perhaps earlier, and so is a bit dated. There's nothing on transmission lines shown in the index. Out of curiosity I checked a simple example about radioactive decay: the answer shown was wrong!
