The Authors of the rubik Package

Prof. W.D. Joyner of the United States Naval Academy wrote the routines to simulate the movements of the Jewell, the Masterball, the Megaminx, the Rubik's 3x3 Cube, the Rubik's 4x4 Cube and the Skewb for Maple 5. You can find the original functions on the Homepage of  Prof. W.D. Joyner. W. Knoben of the RWTH Aachen updated these functions for Maple 6 and wrote in addition the routines to simulate the movements of the pyraminx, the Rubik's 2x2 Cube and the Rubik's 5x5 Cube. The functions to manipulate movements are likewise written by W. Knoben.
