In this work we model and simulate the oscillating movement of a system of spring-mass by solving, symbolically and graphically, their differential equations with Maple and compare them to the analytic solution. Our purpose is to offer students a practical guide for the analysis of problems of wave nature using this program computational tool's capabilities. The necessary commands to obtain the shown results are provided. At the same time, the computational tool's didactic advantages are analyzed for this type of movement.
