Maple 2025: A challenge for educators

This post is written by a mathematics teacher who usually views Maple’s new initiatives from an educational perspective, and I’m well aware that others may see things differently. A single user might be delighted by a new feature that fits their personal workflow. An advanced user might not care if something requires a workaround.

There are also many preferences when it comes to how the interface should look. I often consider whether something will work well for our high school as a whole. We have students who are not very mathematically or scientifically inclined, and others who are. That’s why user-friendliness is essential. Some packages have been developed to make things easier for students. We try to avoid too many workarounds, since these often create problems for them.

Now, on to Maple 2025’s new interface:

When Microsoft introduced tabs and ribbons instead of menus and toolbars in Word many years ago, I personally thought it was a good idea. I can imagine it working well in Maple too — especially if the different elements are placed logically on the tabs, and frequently used functions are easy to access.

However, I just returned from summer vacation, ready for a new school year, only to discover something surprising: the Windows version comes with the new ribbon interface, while the Mac version still has the old one! For any teacher, this is a nightmare scenario: teaching a class where the Windows and Mac interfaces look completely different. Has Maplesoft ended up caught between two chairs here?

I’ve heard that a Mac version with tabs and ribbons is under development. But since it’s not ready yet, we can’t use it. On Windows, I also noticed a strange extra application called “Maple 2025 Screen Readers”. If you open it directly, you get an odd mix of modern 2D notation and old 1D Maple notation, which is simply unacceptable. If you instead click “Screen Reader Mode” in the top-right corner, it looks more normal. But does that mean it’s fully functional? If so, we might be able to combine this with the Mac version that still uses the old interface — and then switch next year to both Windows and Mac with tabs and ribbons. Still, I must say that Maplesoft is providing far too little information on this! Around 75% of our students use Macs, while only 25% use Windows.

Another issue: When saving a Maple file on a Windows computer, you’re forced into Maple’s own “Save As” window. I’ve previously suggested that it should instead open directly in Windows’ native File Explorer, which is far more powerful. In File Explorer, you can quickly use Quick Access shortcuts to save the file in the right folder. In Maple’s “Save As” window, however, it often takes 6–7 extra clicks to reach the desired location. For students who aren’t very tech-savvy, navigating through a deep folder tree can be a real challenge. Why doesn’t Maplesoft just use Windows’ own File Explorer, which students are already familiar with? Most other programs do. Perhaps someone can explain why Maplesoft insists on keeping their own limited “Save As” dialog.

Finally: I do believe that tabs and ribbons can be a good solution, but there’s still work to be done in placing items on appropriate tabs. For example, although I personally use the F5 keyboard shortcut to switch between Text, Non-executable Math, and Math mode, I know many students prefer to click on these options in Maple 2024. In the new interface, it now takes two or three clicks to do so. Since this is a function used very frequently, that’s a drawback. Couldn’t users be allowed to customize the Quick Access toolbar — via the Options menu — so these items can be placed there if needed?

In thus manuscript i got some reviewer comment which is asked to simplify this expresion and there is a lot of them maybe if i do by hand i  made a mistake becuase a lot of variable so how i can fix this issue and make thus square root are very simple as they demand

How can I=sqrt(-1) can be properly factored out fr...

I am trying to factor out I = sqrt(-1) from square roots in my Maple expression by using a substitution f2. However, after applying these substitutions to my final expression, there is no visible change. In addition, the term sqrt(2)/2 + sqrt(2)*I/2 also appear. How can I=sqrt(-1) can be properly factored out from the square roots?

Are there alternatives to Ribbon-Based GUIs

by: C_R 3427 Maple 2025
August 09 2025

I was wondering whether MapleSoft has opted for an outdated concept. Here is Gemini's answer:

Yes, there are many alternatives to ribbon-based GUIs. The ribbon UI, while popular and effective for many applications (especially those with a large number of functions like Microsoft Office), isn't the only way to design an interface. Here are some common alternatives:

 

  • Traditional Menus and Toolbars: This is the classic approach seen in older software. A menu bar at the top provides access to all commands, while toolbars offer quick-access icons for the most common functions. Many applications, especially on Linux, still use this model. A variation is to allow the user to customize their toolbars.

  • Command Palettes: This is a popular approach in modern text editors and IDEs (like Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text). The user presses a keyboard shortcut to bring up a search bar that allows them to quickly find and execute any command in the application. This is highly efficient for power users who know what they're looking for.

  • Contextual Menus (Right-Click Menus): These menus appear when a user right-clicks on an element. They present a list of actions relevant to the selected item. This is a very common and intuitive way to provide functionality without cluttering the main interface.

  • Sidebar or Panel-Based Interfaces: This design uses a vertical panel, often on the left or right side of the screen, to display tools, options, or settings. This is often seen in design software, where the user can access layers, brushes, or properties from a dedicated panel.

  • Hamburger Menus: A three-line icon (the "hamburger") that, when clicked, reveals a menu of options. This is a very common design in mobile applications and is increasingly used in desktop web applications and software to save screen space.

  • Floating Toolbars/Heads-Up Display (HUD): These are toolbars that appear near the user's cursor or the selected object. This keeps the tools close to where the user is working, reducing mouse travel. This is a common pattern in creative applications like 3D modeling or video editing software.

The best choice depends on the type of application, the target user, and the platform. For applications with a huge number of features, a ribbon can be a good way to organize them visually. For applications with a more limited set of functions, or for a mobile-first design, a simpler approach is often better.

Nothing exciting new but the insight that Maple's GUI is a hybrid that adds to the ribbon other concepts. Since the Maple ribbon is young and not part of the training data set, I asked for a better GUI for Word instead:

A "better" GUI for Word is subjective, as different users have different needs. The current ribbon interface is great for discovering features, but it can also feel cluttered.

So, instead of just one idea, here are three different approaches that could improve the Word GUI for different types of users:

 

This GUI would learn from your habits. Instead of a static ribbon, the tabs and icons would change based on what you're doing.

  • Smart Ribbon: The ribbon would automatically switch to the most relevant tab. For example, if you highlight text, the "Home" tab would expand with formatting options like font size, bold, and color. If you're near a table, the "Table Design" and "Layout" tabs would appear instantly.

  • Contextual Command Palette: A simple keyboard shortcut (like Ctrl + K) would bring up a search bar in the middle of the screen. You could type "insert table of contents" or "change line spacing" and the command would execute without you having to hunt for it in the ribbon. This is a much faster option for power users.

 

This approach would strip away everything that isn't essential for a focused writing experience.

  • Floating Toolbar: When you start typing, the entire ribbon disappears. When you highlight text, a small, floating toolbar with only the most basic formatting options (bold, italic, font size, bullet points) appears right next to your cursor.

  • "Focus Mode" on Steroids: A dedicated "Focus Mode" would hide all menus, toolbars, and even the scroll bar. You would see only your document on a clean background. All advanced functions would be accessible through the command palette or a single-click button that temporarily brings back the full ribbon.

 

This design would let users build their own ideal workspace.

  • Customizable Side Panels: Instead of one giant ribbon, the GUI would be made of modular side panels that you could dock, undock, and resize. You could have a "Styles" panel on the left and a "Review" panel on the right, or a "References" panel that's only visible when you're working on a bibliography.

  • "My Tab": Users could create their own custom ribbon tab called "My Tab" and drag and drop their most-used commands into it. For example, a student might have "Footnote," "Citations," and "Table of Contents" all on one tab for easy access.

Each of these designs solves a different problem with the current ribbon. The Adaptive Interface helps you find what you need quickly, the Minimalist Interface promotes focus, and the Modular Interface gives you complete control over your workspace.

The highlighted passages point to areas that have been mentioned already in many comments on the GUI. However, there is one more that really stands in the way for me to work with the new GUI. It could be summarized as "Too many clicks". The former GUI (less intuitive, IMO) was in this respect much more optimzed for productivity.
For example, inserting a text passage or putting the cursor into a text passage implies that the user most likely desires formating options. With the new GUI it is required to click on the edit tab (after having clicked on the insert tab or even more clicky with the quick access bar, which is for this use case not  really quick).

With the former GUI (having a larger quick acess bar) and a tool bar (in red)

only one click was required with substantially less mouse movement.

Personally I would switch to the new GUI with the following improvements

  • a quick access bar that is customizable
  • a smart ribbon that switches to the edit mode tab when the cursor is placed on editable text or a new text/input/document block is inserted

Having the functions that I use most frequently available in the quick access tool bar (highlighted in yellow) would allow me to minimize the ribbon with the same productivity and even more screen space as before.

Keyboard shortcuts that differ from standard OS shortcuts are not a viable alternative for me.

Overall, the direction with the new ribbon seems to be right to get new users productive faster. It seems to be a good choice without clear alternatives, and its graphical design aligns much better with the core values Maple provides.

However, becoming productive fast does not mean that the productivity is high. From this perspective the former GUI is not outdated yet. The workflow with it is much faster and more focussed on math and code.

Perhaps MapleSoft has solutions that will make the new GUI even more productive than the former GUI. This would be great!

Some feedback of Maple2025

In Maple 2025, there are many strange issues, such as plot errors in math apps under Computer Science > Boolean Algebra, which did not occur in Maple 2024. Furthermore, in the 2025 version, when you open load package, some packages are blocked, and you must hide the taskbar to see the blocked packages. Finally, the Ribbon interface in Maple 2025 is really not suitable. Restart and startup code should not be placed in Home; some interfaces should be removed, or an option to retain the 2024 interface should be provided. I sincerely hope my suggestions are taken into consideration. Thank you.
