Should this post be allowed in this forum?

A quick question about sending a blog entry to someone by e-mail via the "Email this blog" button: I almost missed the box to enter the e-mail addresses. I never expected this box to have all of the buttons for typesetting HTML or to upload/use file or worksheet. Shouldn't this field should just be a simple textbox? Doug

In writing codes how can we reduce the CPU comutation time spent for e.g. finding a large Determinant of order 15*15(or even more) of 2 or 3parameters.puting it to zero and solving it for one of the parameters? suppose I have a Matrix of 3 parameters(a,b,c) named M, with(LinearAlgebra): N:=Determinant(M); solve(N=0,a); Here what shall I do for reducing the CPU spent time?

I have just noticed that user _JZlV_BjwBOR has just rocketted up the charts (with 39 points from 13 blog posts). Curious, since I did not remember seeing any such posts, I look at this user's blog and it is empty. What gives?

Hi, When I click on the link titled 'here' in "Post a new comment" -> "Input Format" -> "Filtered HTML" -> "Allows use of and tags to enter 2D math here for help", I get a blank page http://www.mapleprimes.com/node/add/about/posting/math Does anyone know where I could get the relevant information? TIA, -- Jean-Marc

When I click on the "buttons" titled "About" or "Help" (on the top-right part of MaplePrimes pages), I get the following error message: "Access Denied Sorry, it looks like you do not have sufficient permissions to access this page [...]" Can someone else access the required pages or is it just me (something wrong with my account, perhaps)? (I use Firefox 2.0, Windows XP SP2, and I was logged into my MaplePrimes account when I tried.) Regards, -- Jean-Marc

How can I use an 'if clause function' in a summation? Suppose we have codes as follows: > Q[0]:=[0,0]:Q[1]:=[1,0]: > len:=A->sqrt(A[1]^2+A[2]^2): > kappa:=proc(y) local h;h:=[0,0];if y=h then 5; else 1/len(y);fi;end; > s:=R->sum(kappa(R-Q[n])*e(Q[n]),n=0..1): > s([1,0]); Error, (in NumericRange) summand is singular in the interval of summation It seems that when kappa comes into a summation form, it couldn't run the 'if clause'. What is my error in writing these codes?

It's unfortunate, how the "Recent Comments" summary is now so far down the right hand side column that it isn't visible without scrolling down.

Is there any way to customize it (when logged in, say), to get the more interesting content right up at the top where one can see the summaries without having to scroll down?

MaplePrimes seems to have a problem with <maple> tags for modules. When I wrap the tags around Statistics:-ErrorPlot(a,b) the “Statistics:-” gets elided.

The last comment on this thread Singular Planet needs to be removed. This is Spam and does not belong here. Just thought I would point it out because sometimes things like this get missed. Regards, Georgios Kokovidis

This is not so much a suggestion (I'm not sure if you should change it) but edited blog posts are booted off the front page. I edit sentence missing words and poor grammar and now it gone :)

Is there a feature that lets you know if and how many times an uploaded file was viewed, and downloaded by mapleprimes members ? I just personally would like to know how useful my blogs and postings are. (Vanity, I guess. :->). Also, on my last blog dealing with algebraic cryptography, after posting the maple worksheet I did not get the option of having being viewable on maplenet. The only option that was given was to download the actual maple worksheet. Can someone please look into this ? v/r,

This is a request for the moderators/administrators. Is it possible for the administrators, or some responsible member of mapleprimes to issue periodic mathematical competitions ? Their relevance, and or dependence on Maple use is of no issue to me, and likewise for any rewards for the winners. My reason for asking is because I think it would help not just the participants, but everyone on mapleprimes to learn more about Maple. If I'm not mistaken, I think the makers of Matlab do something similar to this. v/r,

I'm checking to see if this problem is still being worked on. At times I find that the reply box is shifted to the far right of the screen, sometimes cutting off any text that is typed in that area. I also posted an earlier complaint about this same problem. v/r,

The input box for the email reply box is too short, either 4 or 5 lines. Consider increasing it to something reasonable.
