Abstract: 
  This work focuses on the symbolic computation of Appell polynomials using the
  computer algebra system Maple.  After describing the traditional approach of
  constructing Appell polynomials, the paper examines the operator method of
  constructing the same Appell polynomials.  The operator approach enables us to
  express the Appell polynomial as Bessel function whose coefficients are Euler
  and Bernuolli numbers.  We have also constructed algorithms using Maple to
  compute Appell polynomials based on the methods we have described.  The
  achievement is the construction of Appell polynomials for any function of
  bounded variation.
