Here's a first working shot at an external, programmatic mechanism for opening .mw worksheets/Documents as new tabs in an already running Maple Standard GUI session.

This involves a `sh` shell script, runnable in Unix/Linux/OSX/cygwin. Maybe someone could post a MS-Windows .bat batch file equivalent.

The basic idea is this: you have a GUI session open. But you want to be able to open other .mw files in that session without having to go through the GUI's File->Open menu every time ...

Hey there,

the attached worksheet shows you how to master definite integrals using special tools that help you determine the pattern between antiderivatives and the area under a curve.

The modern engineering achievements of Japanese industry are the stuff of legends. And for an engineering nerd like myself, Japanese industry quite often equates with the many qualities that drew us into engineering –precision, vision, and technological ambition.  So it’s no surprise that each time I visit Japan, I feel like a kid again, eagerly waiting to discover yet another technological marvel -- whether it’s something very important like automotive powertrains that consume ridiculously small amounts of fuel or something that’s just plain fun (like this), I’m generally in a constant state of amazement if not giddiness during my visits.

The attached worksheet gives you a brief review and shows you how to use Maple to solve and better understand the area between curves. You can also view the examples through an interactive video tutorial:

Video Tutorial: Area between Curves

Please feel free to shoot questions at me!

Let me call them this way. I wonder whether there is a "conversion" table between these names. Examples:

Anyone want to try isprime(2-1) for me?

Bruce Schneier posted a link to a nice powerpoint presentation full of (sometimes snarky) maxims about the security industry.  I think a lot of them are pretty universal to software development in general.  You can replace security with computational math in many of the Maxims.  Good examples:

Infinity Maxim:  There are an unlimited number of  [bugs and errors] for a given [computational math] device, system, or program, most of which will never be discovered.

Ignorance is Bliss Maxim:  The confidence that people have in
[a piece of software] is inversely proportional to how much they know about it.

Rohrbach’s Maxim:  No [computational math] device, system, or program
will ever be used properly (the way it was designed) all the time.

Rohrbach Was An Optimist Maxim:  Few  [computational math] devices,
systems, or programs will ever be used properly.

Maple's Standard GUI has context-sensitive menus. Those are the menus that appear when one right-clicks on a output (or input, in a Dcoument).

Those context-menus can be customized.

Below is an example which adds a new submenu. The new submenu is populated automatically according to the types of thing found within the object itself.

It's an alternative to a menu-item that already exists, which shows up as "Help on Command". But that existing item only...

One way to enhance a package is to add to Maple's context-sensitive menus  some new menu entries which utilize that package's features.

In Maple's Standard GUI, context-sensitive menus (a.k.a. context-menus) appear when the mouse is right-clicked over (input or output) 2D Math expressions.

For a package implemented as a module, new and relevant context-menu entries can be created inside the module's ModuleLoad export. That will cause the new menu entries to be created (automatically...

When I tried to install Maple 12 on my PC, I got a Java-related error as follow:

My OS is Windows XP Professional with SP3. However, I managed to install this version on a virtual machine (which also runs Windows XP SP3) therefore the problem does not come from the installer.

What can I do now to install Maple 12? I really need this software...

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

Here is what confuses me: There is a function with the symbol "I" in it, and Maple can still plot it in the 2-d Euclidean space. And here are the details:

The function I want to find the inverse of is f := x->piecewise(x <= 2, 13-8*x+4*x^2-x^3, x <= 3, -39.13953960+64.18605280*x-29.08139810*x^2+4.011628300*x^3, x <= 9, 8.013637628-3.472493940*x+.3065739839*x^2-0.1316006154e-1*x^3)

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on an AMD Athlon64-X2 (AMD64), and found that "xmaple" did not work right out-of-the-box when I first got Maple 12. There was a bunch of error messages in the terminal I started it from regarding lock assertions or libraries not found, printed by the X-Windows libraries. I also had the problem where it won't print via CUPS.

Like most students studying engineering in the 90s, spreadsheets were the de facto calculation tool.  I used them for everything from food budgeting to pump and piping sizing calculations. 

Computing power has since exploded, and engineers have far better choices.  But engineers still continue using spreadsheets. 

Why?

There’s really only one reason – ubiquity and familiarity.  A spreadsheet is installed on nearly all desktop computers, but even though most engineers are aware of at least some of their design deficiencies they keep on using them.

Dear forum,

 I am working with maple 6. I have type the lines below :

> restart:readlib(ztrans):
> ztrans(Delta(t),t,z);

                           ztrans(Δ(t), t, z)                 ( this is the reslut)

> ztrans(Step(n),n,z);
