I thought I'd create a partial map of the middle east using a procedure with Maple.  Let me say it's not the quickest thing to do when the data format is not particularly favourable. 

I downloaded data from Coastline Extractor from ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast.  This gives you point data sets.  You can then use maple to pointplot...

Update - April 4, 2011: I corrected a typo in Table 2, first column, bottom row.  What was sqrt(6) has been changed to sqrt(5).

This is just a programmatic twist on Robert Lopez's very nice original post on this topic.

I'd rather be able to control such declarations with code, than to have to manipulate the palettes or context menus in order to get what are -- in essence -- additional programming and authoring tools. Such code can be dynamic and flexible, and could be inserted in Code- or Startup regions.

Since coming to Maplesoft in 2003, I've kept a notebook of "gems" I've gleaned from consulting with the programmers in the building. I call it my "Little Red Book of Maple Magic." It really is red. The first spiral-bound notebook was little, and it was red. When it overflowed, I moved the notes to a red ring-binder. But it's not so little any more.

DirectSearch optimization package, version 2 is now available.

        The DirectSearch package is a collection of commands to numerically compute local and global minimums (maximums) of nonlinear multivariate function with (without) constraints. The package optimization methods are universal derivative-free direct searching methods, i.e. they...

A prospective customer recently asked if we had a MapleSim model of a double pipe heat exchanger. Heat exchangers are a critical unit operation in the process industries, and accurate models are needed for process control studies.  I couldn't find an appropriate model so I decided to derive the dynamic equations, and implement them using MapleSim's custom component interface.  I'll outline my modeling strategy in this blog post.

Coon's patch defines a patch from 4 curves forming a chain. 4-examples to Coon's patch are given following worksheet. Boundary curves in the examples are constructed by parametric cubic curves (in Bezier and Hermite form). First example is in 3D and comparable to parametric bicubic surface. Rest of examples are in 2D (abstract surface) which can be described shortly as:

• 2D Example#1: 4 circular-arc like curves are combined by Coon's patch to form a circular-like region

Fun interactive paradox about the MRB constant.

Comes with free Mathematica player.

Though Maple provides routines to express integers or floating in different
integer bases the output looks not as nice as I want to have it.

And for example it does not work as expected using the 'simple ways' (while
for hex there is no simple way for floats):

  Digits:=16; # for all the following

  x:=frac(evalf(Pi)):
  x:= x* SFloat(1,-14);
              ...

This post gives equation of stability region of a Runge-Kutta ODE solver (Dormand-Prince45) as implicit domain equation and ODE-IVP.

Contents are:

• Runge-Kutta solver is implemented
• Solver is applied to test equation and growth factor is obtained
• Stability regions are defined by separating hyperplane (GF=growth factor=1)
• Stability regions are plotted by bruteforce approach (implicitplot)
• Boundary of stability regions...

Hello.

I was thinking about how I have used Maple for making animations. Thinking about it, I remembered an animation that I made to motivate the students of a calculus course. With this animation, I was searching to show the students the power of Maple.

I would like to see other animations for getting new and interesting ideas to show the students.

If you want to upload some animations, we could do a funny post with many animations.

When mucking around with my Maple setup, I occasionally find it useful to check various kernelopts settings.  To simplify this task, I wrote the simple kerneloptsall procedure, which prints all the (useful) values of kernelopts:

(**) kerneloptsall();
ASSERT                    = false
assertlevel               = 0

Using the Open Maple application program interface (API), the ExternalCalling module, a C compiler, and some basic understanding of the Maple data structure format, you can create Maple utilities that run nearly as fast as Maple builtin procedures.

To show how this is done, I will start with a simple example and then proceed to a slightly more complex procedure that improves ?ListTools[SearchAll]
