MapleNet is a web-based platform developed by Maplesoft that allows users to share and interact with Maple documents, calculators, and applications through standard web browsers. It facilitates embedding mathematical content created in Maple into web pages, enabling interactive exploration of mathematical models and technical applications without requiring users to have Maple installed locally. MapleNet supports Java applets and JSP pages, allowing dynamic manipulation of parameters and visualization of results online. It is primarily used to disseminate technical knowledge and computational tools interactively over the internet.
