Abstract

In this paper, we stress the importance of symbolic computation languages as a new research tool in applied mathematics. The treatment of some non-relativistic quantum mechanical problems are presented as illustrations of the use of the symbolic computation language MAPLE developed at the University of Waterloo. Emphasize is given on the possibility to manipulate expressions symbolically, to perform rapidly tedious operations as well as to work in rational arithmetic. Another important feature will consist in the interface of MAPLE and FORTRAN.
