In this example, look at E1. Is it E2 or E3? We cannot tell from the way Maple displays them. For the answer, keep reading. Shouldn't Maple put parentheses or something in its rendering of E2 at least?

> E1 := f @ log @@ 4;

> E2 := (f @ log) @@ 4;

Can someone help me with the Dagger command in the Physics package ? I can't seem to get it to work for matrices. thanks,

I'm running Maple 11 on a Windows XP machine. Should I bother getting the new update for Maple 11, or is this new release not applicable to me ? v/r,

The title says it all - although in the documentation of the Maple Toolbox for Matlab you can read that it is fully compatible with Matlab's Symbolic Math Toolbox, this is actually not the case. So better do not expect that after you install the Maple Toolbox you'll be able to use your old m-files that worked OK with Symbolic Math Toolbox - they might work, if they rely only on the most basic features. However, as soon as you need anything a little bit more complicated, you'll experience a lot of difficulties. One example for all - with Symbolic Math Toolbox you can have: >> var_str = '[a; b]' % symbolic matrix represented as char

I've been laying low for a while now, finding new ways to break and repair Maple. With Maple11, I've found at least two disturbing bugs. The first is in implicitplot(): Maple no longer allows for variable ranges that evaluate to numbers. In Maple10, the command plots[implicitplot](x^3=y-x, x=-5..5, y=0..x); plots correctly, whereas the same command in Maple11 results in the error message: "Error, (in plots/implicitplot) invalid input: invalid range for second variable" The second bug is yet another bug in Maple's eternally bug-ridden Worksheet package. I do not know if this bug exists in previous versions of Maple, but there is a problem reading in nested quotes. To see this bug, do the following:

To check the correctness of the result given by maple it would be nice to integrate a theory prover capability in maple or give more support to work them together.

Why isn't it still possible to easily create and play sound like with Mathematica?????

Does anyone know if Maple's handwriting recognition feature employ statistical pattern recognition in some way ? v/r,

I would like to see the ability to set the plot box and axes transparency, or even color of those items in some future release of Maple. Thanks, Tim

I recently installed maple11 and upgraded from maple10. However, I still have desktop icons for Maple10 and Maple10 classic mode. Does this mean that I now have the choice of using maple 10 or maple 11 on the same machine ? I thought that the automatic upgrade would have completely replaced any previous versions of maple found on one's machine ? Guidance welcomed, v/r,

Open a worksheet in document model, and input the next line in math model plot(x^2,x=-1..1,title="title"); and it will show a plot. Now select "title" in the quotation marks (not include quotation marks), type in "aabb" (not include quotation marks) and press enter, there will be an error. But if you select "title" including quotation marks, and change to "aabb" (including quotation marks), there will no problem.

Please use replies to this blog post for free-form wish list items for Maple 12. Anything you'd like to see, in any part of Maple, go for it.

We seem not to be able to run Maple 10 properly on our Uni network. The problem is that users can not save preferences or use the Compiler. It seems the problem is due to poor programming practice by Maplesoft, although the issue is obscure and I am prepared to be convinced that the problem is our Computing Service's implementation of it. The problem is (I believe) this. Our system is as follows (under XP Pro): All users and PC's live in our Active Directory and all software is applied via group policy. Users have roaming profiles (which are not backed-up!) and their 'Start menu' and 'Desktop' are redirected to a 'read-only' server location

Here's something I think TPTB at Maplesoft should be aware of. In MAPLE10, when you type ?while you get an explanation of 'while' statement used in conjunction with the 'for' statement - you don't get an explanation of the 'while' loop. For that explanation you have to go to the books. Perhaps this is corrected in MAPLE11.

Somethings that I would love to see in maple: 1. A visual studio Intelli-Sense like funtion so plot( would show what the parameters are. 2. In M11, when you get the auto texted arrow (->), if you assign to a variable, it would be handy to note what the variable was. 3. when you edit a auto text arrow, and it contains 'to', the 'to' becomes bolded, which looks a little jarring. 4. It would be nice to be able to assign a output to a function, not just a name. Hopefully something here might be a good idea! =) keep up the great work!
