Another example of the FromMma conversion, from a recent forum post,

What i said before Maple is great product but it needs improvements in some areas. Step by step solutions on integrals with apsolute value doesn't work. Maple calculate the final result corect but there is no step by step solution.Two typical examples are abs(x)dx  and  1/(1-abs(cos(x)))dx

In the field of calculus Maple is very strong , the strongest i have ever seen, but with work with algebra is very week i will say very poor. Equation manipulator works only with equation not with expression . Look how it works on Algebrator 4.2 and you wil see what I mean. Simplify doesn't work corect see example in atachment. If you have step by step solutions on integrals this to implement on algebra is 100 times easy becouse here you know what is the next step.

With expression palette for multivariable calculus in Maple entering multivariable calculations wll be very easy such as double and triple integrals, line and surface integrals. No other program such as Mathematica or Matlab have this, why Maple don't be first who has this option.

Sorry for my english it's not my mother language.

The NullSpace help page in online help uses {{...}} for sets instead of {...}. I didn't check other pages with help examples containing sets.

Just looked at the RowSpace (and ColumnSpace) online help pages. They contain [[...]] instead of [...].

I have  suggestion for people who make maplesim. In this version in MapleSim
2.0 it's not posible to enter piecewise function in Signal
Blocks-Sources-Real-Real Expression component. It will be wonderfull If you
make this avalible.

Hi all,

There are a few useful commands in the MmaTranslator:-Mma. The help pages are rather confusing and don't seem to provide enough examples though. For example, take a look at the WriteString help page.

The calling sequence is WriteString(arguments) - and the Parameters section says that "arguments - Maple translation of the Mathematica command arguments", which assumes that the user knows the Mathematica arguments of that command.

What do you think of the -1^n with no parentheses?

I just entered an equation, theta := pi/4. Maple returned 1/4 pi. I know that's the same, but not the way I'd expect to see it. In Mathcad, I can put anything I want (OK, no ice cream flavors ;-) ) to the right of the result, and the result is then re-displayed in those units. It isn't without a few peculiarities of its own, but I'd like to see pi/4, not 1/4 pi.

I have to keep moving my hands to the arrow keys to move in the numeric fields. For example, suppose that I am in the exponent and I want to drop down for the next operation. My hands are already on the space bar, and it is natural to want to use my thumbs. I understand that this might mean that I couldn't use space for implicit multiplication, but I don't want to use that nearly as often as I want to move in the numeric field, and I am most likely to use hard coded multiply anyway. Erring on the side of caution and all that.

Well so far i liked maple, it's all fine! But when i load a proc with some char's like \n, whitch is linefeed - and i need that. it loads as being \134n!

Is there anything i can do to prevent this?

I miss some familiar features from the classicalö worksheet in the standard worksheet, especially things like "find/replace" in 2D-math expressions, undo for mathematical operations.

It will be very convenient if the worksheet automatic jump to the position that the cursor is in the middle of the screen if you reach the bottom. It is very unconvenient now. If I execute some existing worksheet step by step and I reach the bottom I can only see the half of the input, or if there is a loop I only see the first line.
 

Sometimes I only want to see the plot with varying axes formation, for example with logarithmic scale. But I don't want to change the style really. So it will be nice if the style goes back to the old style if I click on "Cancel":

Click on the plot to "plot-axes-properties",
change something,
click: "Apply",
click: "Cancel"

=> everything is like before the changing
