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.

Read the abstract for this medical journal. It describes "Tai's Model" for determining the area underneath a curve. Apparently the article has received 75 citations.

Since sometime in 2006 I've been posting my thoughts of and discoveries concerning the MRB constant here on Maple Primes, and I will continue to do so. My hope, however, has been to publish some of my better ideas in a larger forum. I want to thank all of you for putting up with the roughness of many of my ideas when I first posted them. I still hope to refine and publish many of those rough concepts.

Here my first published paper.

As some of you know, I'm hoping to, some day, find a closed form expression for the MRB constant.

 Here is my latest little nugget.

Let x=MRB constant.

I found this great post on Twitter today. Two fans of Maple dress up as Maple and MATLAB for halloween:

I know that lots of you are big fans of Maple, but how many of you would consider going out in public dressed as Maple?

    My first touch with Maple was in 1997,when I was in my undergraduate course.The software of maple was in three floppy disk.

    Since 2000,I becomes a teacher for mathematics .Now I am using it to compute the integrate,limits,etc.

To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world!

This post is a further development of my earlier question in reply to John's post. I have implemented a basic version of the CANDECOMP/PARAFAC algorithm referred to on Wikipedia and described 

This is not really the next part in my randomness series, but more of an aside.  I used Maple's embedded components to use the Lotto649 drawing data from my last post to create a historical lottery simulator.  Basically, you fill in your prefered numbers, and it simulates you playing the lottery in every draw since 1982.

If you are interested in listing to me ramble for an hour about integration algorithms, it looks like the recording of the Webinar I gave in early September has been posted to the academic webinar archive: Theory and Practice of Symbolic Integration in Maple. I tried to make it a broad introduction for someone with...

I've been making some use of the Maple Cloud for a while now, and thought that I'd share some comments.

So far, it's been quite useful to me, and I like it. This surprised me a bit. I expected not to find it useful, and to dismiss it with an old-timer's "Bah, humbug... as useless as Maple+twitter!" But, to the contrary, I've found a use for it; a need that isn't otherwise...

I have gotten some comments about my new avatar, including a few commenting that while my picture is clear on the blog contributors sidebar, it is "blurry" on my blog posts. I just wanted clear this up.  I am not in the witness protection program; I just really love singular values.  My new avatar, just like my old one, is a rank 4 approximation of a picture of me using the singular value decomposition.

One of the best things about growing up in the “Hood” is that it feels really good when you leave. I grew up in a neighborhood called Downsview in Toronto whose claim to fame used to be it was the home to the DeHavilland Aircraft company but today is more associated with ongoing issues of crime, poverty, and many other urban illnesses. So every time I hear that someone from the Hood did something great, I take notice and I take special pride. This is the story about...

I have just had my first scientific publication (Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics 2010 Vol24 No K2) and I thought I should include the acknowledgement here

 “The development of algorithms in Maple was assisted by the advice from the MaplePrimes forum including John Fredsted who provided an initial coding idea for automated detection of plane division”.

A sign of a very successful period of work is the tally of how many email messages I’ve written that start with … “First, let me apologize for the delay in my response…” Yes, if you are the recipient of one of these notes from me, you’re probably more annoyed than pleased that I’m finding lots of very interesting things to fill up my ever-shrinking Outlook schedule. It’s been one heck of a summer, and I’m behind on countless...

I came across a website that tracked website usage.  I decided to see if Maplesoft existed there in the top million.  To my surprise, it did!  It may not by all means be useful but it is interesting.  The size of the icon is dependant on the popularity  http://nmap.org/favicon/?q=www.maplesoft.com

I also dedided to check out where our competitors stand.  Interestingly...
