Section 6.7 Other Common Functions
Maple possesses many other useful built-in functions for performing common mathematical operations. They include, but are not limited to, commands that compute the factorial of a number, find the floor or ceiling of a numerical value, return the numerator or denominator of an expression, or determine the maximum or minimum of a collection of arguments.
Aside Factorial notation
\(!\) works much like algebraic operations and does not need parentheses. However, a
factorial() command is also available.
\begin{equation*}
