Image:MaplesoftCorporateHeadquarters.jpg Waterloo Maple Inc. is a privately held Canadian software company, headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario. It is best known as the manufacturer of the Maple computer algebra system.
Waterloo Maple presently operates under the trademarked name Maplesoft.
It was first incorporated under the name Waterloo Maple Software in April 1988 by Keith Geddes and Gaston Gonnet, who were both then professors in the Symbolic Computation Group, a part of the computer science department (now the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science) at the University of Waterloo.
From July 1998 to August 2003, the headquarters of Waterloo Maple was located in the former Seagram Museum in Waterloo, which was itself the former location of the original Seagram distillery.
Maplesoft has a European office, Maplesoft GmbH, located in Zug, Switzerland.
