What do you think of the -1^n with no parentheses?

I'm guessing that the following behavior is a mapleprimes feature.

In the forums, when a thread loads, the display always jumps to the bottom of the page to an insertion point waiting in the reply box.

I like to read messages, before I reply.

Is there a way to turn off this "feature" ?

Cheers,

I just searched the mapleprimes site for information on how to mark all forum messages as "read".

In July 2005, somebody asked how to do this.  William Spaetzel responded by noting that there is no such feature and that he would think about adding it.  He repeated this statement, about two months later.

In March 2006, somebody else asked how.  There's no mapleprimes response to that message.

In July 2009, I'm asking again.

Has the suggestion from three years ago been officially rejected by mapleprimes?

Hi,

In which language the combinat package is written ? In C/C++ or in the Maple programming language ? When I call a combinat package function, from which file comes the function code ? I suppose the code is in a binary format, isn't it ? Thanks.

Is this board the best place to ask about issues with Maple V Release 5?

I'm trying to learn about animated 2d plots by using examples in the bundled help file, but something is wrong.

Here's one example that I tried:

restart ;

with(plots) ;

animate( sin(x*t), x = -10..10, t = 1..2, frames = 50) ;

Maple renders only what appears to be sin(x) from x = -10 to 10, with "jagged" local minimums and maximums.  If I simply plot sin(x), then the graph has smooth curves.

There is no animation.

Through the landmark book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert Pirsig introduced generations of engineers to formal metaphysics. This engaging story chronicles the journey of a man and his teenage son on a single motorcycle through America. Through their encounters with challenges of all sorts, the man explores and wrestles with the notion of “quality”, in both the mechanical sense – the quality of his machine, and the human sense – the quality of a person or a relationship. I’m a big fan of interdisciplinary education and I was always thrilled to find out that this book is actually mandatory reading at many engineering universities. Today, I think I have a much better sense of where this thrill comes from.

It appears when extended mode is selected, the Round screen display to ... under precision it is still not working. 

When using the with(ScientificConstants) package and calling on the elements for it's properties some elements do not append the programming code. 

GetElement(1);  contains proc and endproc's and so does GetElement(2);

Element 3 - 5 don't but 6 - 10 do, and 11 - 16 don't and 17 - 18 do, 19 - 32 don't and 33 -  well you can find out yourselves.  Point is it's not consistent and needs to be fixed. 

The Maple 13.01 update is now available.  It includes:

• 3D visualization: Increased speed and memory efficiency
• Language packs: Improved French translations and expanded support for Greek
• JRE Update: Updated JRE corrects many Java-related issues, and results in improvements in printing on Linux, printing international characters, redrawing components, and plotting
• Other enhancements: Areas of improvement include the performance of plots with a large number of data points, curve colors used in drag-and-drop plotting, the display of mathematics in embedded components, and PDF export.

 As usual, single-user customers will automatically be prompted to update to Maple 13.01 though Maple's automatic "check for updates" mechanism, while network users will be notified by email and directed to the download site. An update CD will be available soon for customers who cannot get the update electronically. More information can be found on the Maple 13.01 download page.

Is there a way to specify a user-supplied routine when using the define_external command?

Here is a simple Fortran program to show what I want.

please help me...as you read the subject of my   message you easy t think an idea what may you have..email me willing t help...

coz we are developing another sorting algorithm that claims that our algorithm is faater than quick sort algorithm in terms in numbers and characters..

please help  me to evaluate our new develop algorithm..

email me: abegail_228710@yahoo.com

looking forward yuor reply

There is no Bugs (or Possible Bugs) forum in MaplePrimes at all.
Why?

1) Report a bug using this link
http://www.mapleprimes.com/scr/add
isn't encouraging, because nobody (except maplesoft staff) will know who found the bug.

I want to report some progress in finding a closed-form for the MRB constant.

I found a sequence of closed-forms involving the MRB that gives "0." with interesting accuracy far beyond machine precision. To see it for yourself, simply plot 1 + Sin[Pi*(5060936308 + 78389363*Floor[n])/m],
where m is the MRB Constant, for n in any given domain. It is

A few weeks ago I made a short trip down to Lincroft, New Jersey, to deliver a Maple training course to a group of math professors at Brookdale Community College. I’d been to Manhattan before, but never New Jersey, and didn’t really know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to fly in over a lush and verdant landscape, with temperatures hovering in the mid-70s. My host, Barbara, had graciously invited me to her home for dinner, and we had a great conversation about teaching math, the Verrazano Bridge, dealing with deer in the backyard (Barbara was originally a Brooklyn girl, used to the concrete jungle!), and of course, what to expect the next day at the college.

I have been advised to remove the older version before installing the new version, but I seem to recall that installing the new version while the older one is installed will upgrade configuration files to the new version. I'd also like the capability to be able to run earlier versions of Maple while I am checking out the latest version...is it safe to install multiple versions on the same Windows system?

Thanks,

Rich
