: This side panel analyzes selected mathematical expressions to offer relevant operations—such as solving for variables, plotting, or converting units—without requiring knowledge of Maple syntax.

: Developers could now encrypt procedures to share executable code while hiding the underlying source code to protect intellectual property. Point-and-Click Problem Solving - What's New in Maple 2018

The most visible change in Maple 2018 was the introduction of the , which consolidated and improved the software's "Clickable Math" tools.

: Introduced support for interpolating data from arbitrary, unstructured locations using methods like Kriging and radial basis functions.

: New features allowed users to lock documents or specific tables to prevent accidental modifications while still allowing interactive components like sliders to function.

: Units were more deeply integrated into the core engine, allowing top-level commands like solve , int , and fsolve to handle units-based expressions natively.

: New methods allowed for closed-form solutions to four new classes of second-order nonlinear ODEs and expanded support for PDEs in three independent variables. Connectivity and Security
