Maple Player

[acer]

The "Products" drop-menu on the www.maplesoft.com webpage links to a page for the new Free Maple Player.

http://maplesoft.com/products/maple/Mapleplayer/

That page describes its functionality to include:

- Open a Maple document and view its contents.
- Interact with applications that make use of embedded components...
- Open documents from the MapleCloud...

I do not think any one uses this newsgroup much any more.

I'm not entirely sure the question. For (a), part 1, is it how
many digits to express exp(100) to the neareset integer? That is
easy enough

evalf(exp(100)) --> .2688117142e44

so it would take 44 digits. However, you won't be able to use
the same approach for the second part. Note, though (which is the
point of the assignment) that

ceil(log10(exp(100)));

44

Similarly

ceil(log10(exp(exp(100))));
11674344414002886632798167381008836736851881

So I expect exp(exp(100)) to require that many digits.
