This work provides the preliminary information for future research work on analytical and graphical solution of series ODEs and PDEs using maple18 software. The computations with the maple 18 softwar e consist of solving procedure, animation, plotting of 2-D and 3-D graphs. This project work is considered as a blend of mathematics and computer science leading to powerful methods for solving complex problems on one-dimensional wave equation with d’Alembert formula. It is also considered for creating a mathematical model of wave problems and methods of solving the wave problems by implementing it on Maple worksheet which can be used in several undergraduate and graduate courses as well as solving new research problems.
