One capability of a CAS is animation. Figures in books (or in papers) are static. Animation can make these figures come alive by illustrating, e.g., how changes in parameters affect the shapes of p.d.f.'s. This can be done by running the Maple programs live. This is also illustrated on this web page. And the Maple worksheets for this talk are also available there and can be downloaded to your computer. Check the end of each section. Save it using the given name so that they are hyperlinked to the menu.

A supplementary statistics package of approximately 100 procedures has been written by Zaven Karian from Denison Univeristy. These procedures always begin with a capital letter and sometimes have additional capital letters within their names. Almost all of Maple's procedures use lower case letters exclusively. The statistics supplement is available by clicking here. Its name here is statvr4.m which is the Release 4 version. An upgrade to Release 5 is available from Professor Karian. The Release 4 version works for the examples in this paper.
