I've downloaded and installed the new Vista ready version of Maple 11 (11.01) and few things are curious. It installs something called the "Maple 11 Reader Beta". Not sure what this is or what it is intended to do, but if it is a Maple runtime, then that is very interesting. We only have one Vista machine here in my office and the reader doesn't actually run on it so I can't really tell what it does. Which leads to a warning, the reader is failing because of a problem with my previous install of Maple 10. I had installed Maple 10 using the "run in XP compatibility mode" workaround. So before I went to install the new version I tried to uninstall Maple 10. But, I forgot to set the Maple 10 uninstaller to run in compatibility mode before I ran it, and it blew up. So the uninstall of Maple 10 failed part way through.

I offer a copy of what I posted earlier on this thread so that it may be properly addressed (in the previous thread, discussion became mired in a debate over exact meanings of words in a help file): [This error] is yet another [error] in Maple's eternally bug-ridden Worksheet package. I do not know if this [error] exists in previous versions of Maple, but there is a problem reading in nested quotes. To see this [error], do the following: 1) Create a new worksheet. 2) On any line, type: "\"foo\""; This is the correct syntax for putting quotation marks [inside of] a string.

I found this today, probably a bug in MultiSeries :- series

It appears that the environment vairable "_ans" acts in precisely the same way as the Ditto operator, "%." When was this implemented, and was it ever documented?

I came across this interesting piece of reading, and thought I'd share it. It's an online version of the title, "The Mathematics of Gambling", by Dr. Edward Thorp. Although after browsing the web it was implied that Dr. Thorp was world renowned, I honestly knew nothing of him. You may also look him up on Wikipedia to find a link to this publication. Maybe some of you may find ways of applying Maple to some of the content in this book.

It was said: "embarassing bugs have this way of getting fixed faster..." The last time I reported this bug, it was a bug in Maple 10, and I reported it in person to one of the GUI workers. If I wanted to report this bug privately again, I would use support@mapleprimes.com; however, this forum seems just as effective a means of conveyance. Anyway, there seems to be a bug, when using Maple's Classic interface, in the mechanism that redraws the screen. This is how the bug can be consistently replicated: On a new worksheet, type in and execute a command which will at least fill the entire screen with output. For example: 10000!; fills my screen and does not trigger elision.

Hello. I have the MacIntel version of Maple 11 installed on a Macintosh Intel. When I start Maple and enter > 12345678901234567890; then Maple indicates "Evaluating" and the Memory and Time counters do not move. This goes on forever. When clicking the Stop icon, it becomes gray, but nothing else happens: "Evaluating" goes on and on. This only seems to happen when "Enable SMP support" is selected, and then happens every time. I have a MacBook Pro with an Intel Core Duo processor, so enabling SMP support seems sensible and should divide times by almost 2.

I would like to extract function with respect to the variables wich they are functions of in expressions of the form of e: e:= f(x)*g(y)*h(z); Thanks in advance

Hello! I am very curious as to what algorithm Maple uses in Linear Solve. I have heard recently that some people do gaussian elimination (or maybe LU factorization) modulo some prime for exact arithmetic solvers and then reassmble the solution via Chinese Reminder theorem? I wonder if anyone has heard to this, or recommends this as a method for solving a system exactly? I have a very special, very large and sparse matrix with only -1,0, and +1. I would love to solve this matrix exactly, but regretfully is too large for Maple (up in the millions by millions). Would anyone have any references in literature for me in this area? Or perhaps maples LinearSolve uses a different exact-arithmetic algorithm?

Is it possible to make Maple give coefficient directly and without using subs of a functio when partial derivatives appears in the expression? I:= s^2*a(s,y,z)+s*U(s)*diff(a(s,y,z),s)+s^2*g(s)*diff(a(s,y,z),y); I want to exract coeff of a(s,y,z)!!! I know that I can use subs to cancel terms with partial derivatives and then use coeff, but you can imagine how much painful it could be when you have about twenty expression from wich you have to exract other coeff Thanks in advance.

I'm working with Maple v10.03 I have a problem with the 'indices' function when I define a table and ask maple to give indices tab:=table([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]); indices(test); I get in output non-arranged indices [1],[2],[3],[5],[4],[7],[6],[10],[8],[9] it's confusing, is there a way to make maple give them arranged automaticly?

For double-precision ("hardware") real and complex floating-point operations on Matrices, Vectors, and Arrays Maple makes use of its external-calling mechanism to get to compiled code. A great deal of such compiled code for array operations requires what are known as Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS). The BLAS libraries provide support not only directly for Matrix-Vector arithmetic but also indirectly in other external compiled libraries used by Statistics, ArrayTools, LinearAlgebra[Modular], etc.

In the admirable quest to make Maple better and stronger, and since so few people responded to the Suggestion to add a searchable bug database here on mapleprimes, here's another tack.

What are the fewest keystrokes that can make the TTY commandline interface of Maple 10.06 or 11 crash?

By crash I mean something like bus-error or segmentation-fault, stack-limit-exceeded, or lost-kernel-connection. I don't mean a runaway computation that simply consumes all...

Hello, I am trying to install Maple8 on Ubuntu Edgy. I managed to make Maple8 work on Ubuntu Dapper using this HowTo. But after upgrade to Edgy Eft Maple does not work. karel@stazka:/usr/local/maple8/bin$ ./maple /usr/local/maple8/bin.IBM_INTEL_LINUX/mserver: relocation error: /usr/local/maple8/bin.IBM_INTEL_LINUX/libmaple.so: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference karel@stazka:/usr/local/maple8/bin$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 karel@stazka:/usr/local/maple8/bin$ ./maple

Hi, one of my maple codes gave surprising results. After some debugging, it could be traced to a behavior that can be illustrated by the following code: f := proc(x := X) option remember; x; end proc: g := proc(x := X) x; end proc: X := 0: f(); g(); X := 1: f(); g(); The code outputs 0 0 0 1 Apparently, the fact that X has been updated is not considered in the remember table. Is this behavior documented? It is very counterintuitive; one would expect the 'remember' facility to be transparent and f() and g() to behave identically.
