I am in a college level physiology class, and have been assigned the task of deriving the Boltzman equation with Maple.  I have never used Maple before and find myself at a loss how to even start.  I've read through the tutorials and still am having difficulty using this program.  To define Boltzman equation, we are supposed to plot the Boltzman curve of force vs probability that channel is open.  Force is just equal to x, and probability that channel is open would be on the y axis and is defined as a/(a+b).  The second component of the equation involves t
