Hello people in mapleprimes,

I have a question:
What are you doing when you use maple in calculating, for example, your paper,
to avoid missing, for example, variables you use, or for your needs to look back the outcomes you obtained before?
If this is a paper-using work, on considering what to do next, you will read some pieces of papers you wrote and
on which you had calculated and obtained necessary equations. But, with small monitor 13 inch, and with
inconvenience of dealing with things in PC, compared with papers, I feel some stress in using maple in writing a paper.
So, now, I am asking you what kind of methods you has devised to make what you are writing compact and easy,
for you to handle with what you are writing.

I know surely that there are the document block, which enables output or input to not be shown, the workbook,
which is helpful in putting attached worksheets or jpg files together at one workbook, and the distinction of ":" and ";",
which in the case of the former, hides expressions in the outcome.

But, yet, I want to ask you about the ways you use to make it easy to write something.
If you have some, I will be very glad if you show it here.

Best wishes.

Hello everybody!
I have a PDE with initial and boundary conditions. I want to plot its solution by taking "t" as x axis. I have seen the documentation. It only has the space variable on x axis. Please show me a way to achieve what I intend.

here is the file pdsolve.mw

The value of x can be chosen as 0.16 or 0.21

I am trying to solve a PDE using pdsolve-numeric. I am getting an error related to boundary conditions.
Please see the follwing worksheet and suggest me some solutions

When I copy mathml into Maple it always pasted the subscipts as indexed.  How could I quickly convert the indexed subscripts into literal subscripts without having to right click and convert each variable?

How to prove or disprove the flatness of the surface x = (u-v)^2, y =  u^2-3*v^2, z = (1/2)*v*(u-2*v), where u and v are real-valued parameters? Here is my try:

I think Gaussian curvature should be used to this end. Dr. Robert J. Lopez is my hope.

in Mathematica, there is the option called BoxRatios

"is an option for Graphics3D that gives the ratios of side lengths for the bounding box of the three‐dimensional picture."

It is sort-of like aspect ratio, but for 3D. It is set by default so make 3D plot looks "nice". I can't seem to find equivalent Maple option. The closest is the option "s=" for plot3d, but this just turns of/on "constrained scaling" and does not allow one to modify the "BoxRatios"

Let me give an example. Here is 3D plot in Mathematica and the same in Maple. I'd like to get the Maple 3D to look similar to Mathematica 3D in terms of the "aspect ratio". Maple on the z-axis is using the same size as in the x and y axis, and even though this is realistic, it does not make the plot as nice. I want to change this ratio.

T0[x_, y_, m_] :=20/Pi Sum[ (-1)^(n + 1)/n Exp[- (n Pi/10) y] Sin[ (n Pi/10) x], {n,1, m}]
Plot3D[T0[x, y, 70], {x, 0, 10}, {y, 0, 10}, PlotRange -> All,  AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}]

In Maple:

T0:= (x,y,m)-> 20/Pi*sum( (-1)^(n+1)/n*exp(- n*Pi/10*y)*sin(n*Pi/10*x),n=1..m);
plot3d(T0(x,y,50),x=0..10,y=0..10,scaling=unconstrained);

So Maple is using 1:1:1 box ratio. Mathematica default is 1:1:0.4, and I wanted to see if I can change Maple to be the same.

I get same plot in Maple using scaling=unconstrained or scaling=constrained. So this option is not very useful for what I want.

Is there a way to change the "BoxRatios" as defined above in Maple? There must be, right? Do I need to use different package?

How can one find out when a Maple command or package became part of Maple? i.e. which Maple version first had this command or package?

For example, I'd like to know when applyrule https://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=applyrule was introduced. But this applies really to any command I see.

In Mathematica, this is easy to find out, since it is documented in the help page for the command, at the botton of each page when the command was added. Is there a command or a web page that shows this type of information about Maple commands and packages?

This came up in another language. I tried to solve it in Maple, but I am newbie so did not know how to.

The problem is to remove all products of  "a^n*b^m" that shows up in an expression, including any powers of "n,m". For example, given these three expressions

f0 := a^4+4*a^3*b +6*a^2*b^2+4*a*b^3+ b^4;
f1 := 3*(a*b -2*c);
f2 := (a*b -2*c)/(c - a*b);

Then applying the transformation needed, will result in

f0:= a^4+b^4;
f1:=-6*c;
f2:=-2;

Becuase the transformation will detect any a^n*b^m and simply replace this product by zero 
from the resulting expression. So "a*b^2 + 2" will become "2", and so on.

I assume a function such as "patmatch"  or "match" is needed. I tried, but could not figure how. 
I also tried algsubs. How would this be coded in Maple?

hi every one...

how i can simplify this result (R_arm_F2 $  Twflex) via tringular relations.

where Ixflex & tetadot and other... are constants

thanks

Walking into the big blue Maplesoft office on August 3^rd was a bit nerve wracking. I had no idea who anyone was, what to expect, or even what I would be doing. As I sat in the front hall waiting for someone to receive me, I remember thinking, “What have I gotten myself into?”. Despite my worries on that first day, interning at Maplesoft has been a great experience! I never knew that I would be able to learn so much about programming and working in a company in such a short amount of time. Although Maple was a programming language that was foreign to me a couple weeks ago, I feel like I’m relatively well versed in it now. Trying to learn a new language in this short timespan hasn’t been easy, but I think that I picked it up quickly, even if I’ve had my fair share of frustrations.

Chaos Game example on Rosetta Code

At Maplesoft, I’ve been contributing to the Rosetta Code project by writing short programs using Maple. The Rosetta Code project is dedicated to creating programming examples for many different tasks in different programming languages. My summer project has been to create solutions using Maple for as many tasks as possible and to post these to Rosetta Code; the goal being to have the list of tasks without Maple implementation shrink with each passing day. It’s nice to feel like I’m leaving a mark in this world, even if it is in such a small corner of the internet.

Flipping Bits example on Rosetta Code/MapleCloud

This internship, of course, came with its share of challenges. During my work on the Rosetta Code project, I posted solutions for a total of 38 tasks. Some of them were easy, but some of them took days to complete. On some days, I felt like I was on top of the world. Everything I made turned out great and I knew exactly how to tackle each problem. Other days were slower. I’ve spent ages just staring at a computer monitor trying to figure out just how on earth I was going to make this machine do what I wanted it to do! The 24 Game task was particularly hard, but also very educational. Through this task, I learned about modules, a concept previously unknown to me. I’m fairly sure that the 24 Game also took me the longest, whereas the Increment a numerical string task took me no time at all. Despite it being easy, the Increment a numerical string task wasn’t particularly fun; a bit of a challenge is required for something to be entertaining, after all. My personal favourite was the Fibonacci n-step number sequences task. It was the first really challenging task I encountered, and for after which the feeling of finally completing a task that I spent so long on, of finally overcoming that mountain, was extremely satisfying. Not all challenges end in satisfaction, however. I often found myself accidentally doing something that made the window freeze. I would close the program, then cry a bit on the inside when I realized I just lost the past half an hour’s worth of unsaved work. Nevertheless, I’m glad I got to face all these obstacles because they have made me more resilient and a better programmer.

The following is the code for the Fibonacci n-step number sequences task

numSequence := proc(initValues :: Array)

	local n, i, values;
	n := numelems(initValues);
	values := copy(initValues);
	for i from (n+1) to 15 do
		values(i) := add(values[i-n..i-1]);
	end do;
	return values;
end proc:
 
initValues := Array([1]):
for i from 2 to 10 do
	initValues(i) := add(initValues):
	printf ("nacci(%d): %a\n", i, convert(numSequence(initValues), list));
end do:
printf ("lucas: %a\n", convert(numSequence(Array([2, 1])), list));

Maple was a great software to program with and a fairly straightforward language to learn. Having previously programmed in Java, I found Maple similar enough that transitioning wasn’t too difficult. In fact, every once in a while when I didn`t know what to do for a task, I would take a look at the Java example in Rosetta Code and it would point me in a direction or give me some hints. While the two languages are similar, there are still many differences. For example, I liked the fact that in Maple, lists started at an index of 1 rather than 0 and arrays could an arbitrary starting index. Although it was different from what I was used to, I found that it made many things much less confusing. Another thing I liked was that the for loop syntax was very simple. I never once had to run through in my head how many times something would loop for. There were such a wide variety of commands in Maple. There was a command for practically anything, and if you knew that it existed and how to use it, then so much power could be at your fingertips. This is where the help system came in extremely handy. With a single search you might find that the solution to the exact problem you were trying to solve already existed as a Maple command. I always had a help window open when I was using Maple.

Multiplication Tables example on Rosetta Code

Spending my summer coding at Maplesoft has been fun, sometimes challenging, but an overall rewarding experience. Through contributing to the Rosetta Code project, I’ve learned so much about computer programming, and it certainly made the 45 minute drive out to Waterloo worth it!

Hello, I need help in add/sum, there are two problems:

1. How we write triple summation (sigma) in Maple? (See pic)

I try sum(sum(sum or add(add(add but it isn't working.

2. How we write summation like in this pic?

I already try these syntax:

for e from 1 to 9 do

for k from 1 to 17 do

if i=(2*e-1) then next else

constraint12[2*e-1,k]:=add(x[2*e-1,i,k],i from i in T)=1

end if

end do

end do

For example, the expected result for e=2 and k=1 is like following equation:

x[2,1,1]+x[2,3,1]+x[2,4,1]+x[2,5,1]+...+x[2,17,1]+x[2,18,1]=1

But the result I get:

x[2,1,1]+x[2,2,1]+x[2,3,1]+...+x[2,18,1]=1

How to omit the x[2,2,1]?

Thank you.

Hey 

I just went from maple 18 to maple 2016. I use maple as a writing program aswell for notes and school.

I realized that maple 2016 does output lines when writing math in a textbox. This is kind of annoying since notes in chemistry is not allways a true mathematical expression. Therefore maple complains. Is there anyway to change this?

Hi all,

I was wondering how to go about validating some airfoil designs for my Formula SAE team's CFD results.  I know this is more common with simplier calculations but I'm hoping using Maple and maybe the new algebraic manipulation of non-comunitive differential operators, I could achive what I am after.   The two calculations of interest are the drag force and downforce.  Can someone shed some light? Thanks

When I try to use CodeTools:-Profiling:-Profile() (with no arguments), I get "kernel connection lost" after about a minute. Has anyone used this sucessfully, with no arguments? If so, would you please post a worksheet? I'm using Windows 8, if that makes a difference.

I think that I'll need to revert to the older kernelopts(profile= true).

I did not understand fully some of the notation used in 2D when I had the tools->options->Display->Output display->2D. So I thought if I change it to Maple notation. I might see what the symbol actually mean.  But when I did so, the result was even more confusing. Full of typesetting:-mrow commands and hard to read.

Here is the output in 2D

restart;
int(1/( (x-a)*(x-b)),x=-infinity..infinity  );

And here is the output when I switched to Maple output:

I was expecting to see "normal" looking Maple commands, which I can understand. Even the Latex is easier to read than the above mumple jumple code:

Does this mean one should forget about using Maple notation for output from now on? Why is it the output so complicated?
