Hi,

I'm trying to create interactive plots by using Explore to help demonstrate the effects parameters have on functions. I created one successfully to illustrate shifts and stretches of a polynomial:

transform(A,B,X,H,P,K):=Explore(plot(a*(b*x+h)^(p)+k,x=X),parameters=[a=A, b= B,h=H,p=P,k=K],placement=right)

However when I try to do the same with a solved ODE it returns an error message:

Explore(plot(1/(-p*x+x+1)^(1/(p-1)), x = -5 .. 5), parameters = [p = -20 .. 20], placement = right);

Executing this gives the error message: 

Warning, expecting only range variable x in expression 1/((-p*x+x+1)^(1/(p-1))) to be plotted but found name p
INTERFACE_PLOT(AXESLABELS(x, ""),

VIEW(-5. .. 5., DEFAULT, _ATTRIBUTE("source" = "mathdefault"))),

parameters = [p = -20 .. 20], placement = right

I'm not sure why it is having difficulty dealing with "p" when it had no difficulty with the first. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, so please tell if I need to set up the question in a different way :) I've tried to find an answer for this, but have struggled since our learning book is in danish, so the used terms may not be technically correct,

Anyways, how do you solve this problem in maple? 

Find the complete real solution for the differential equation system:

For the homogenous part I've found. (Is this correct?)

  , c1,c2 € R

I've tried to find an answer for the inhomogenous part but I get a really complicated result, so I doubt it's correct.

Thanks for the help :)

Hi, I'm a big noob in Maple, so may be the answer is very simple.

Thank you!!!

I am considering options to access Maple features from within a Fortran program using the OpenMaple API. I do not find any examples illustrating this (or even precise statements if this is possible in principle). (Quite surprising to me considering the presence of Fortran in scientific computing).

Is the only way to go to write a C wrapper for the API? If yes, is there an example for such a wrapper which performs common conversions between Fortran and C data types.

Thanks!

I have been Maple  18 with no problem. Then, today, the  "=" symbol and  "+" symbol don't work.  Does anyone know what to do about this?

hai everyone. i am currently trying to solve an integration of the following ∫g(η)dη . integrate from 0 to 10.

from the following odes.

f ''' +1-(f ')² +ff ''=0,

g''-gf'+fg'=0,

with boundary conditions f(0)=0, f'(0)=λ, f'(∞)=1, g(0)=1,g(∞)=0

First, i solve the odes using the shooting method. then i used the trapezoidal rule to solve for the integration of g(eta) using the following codes

> with(student);
> trapezoid(g(eta), eta = 0 .. 10, 10);
> evalf(%);

it seems that it can not read the data from the shooting method. can anyone suggest why it is happening?

thank you verymuch for your concern :)

Hello

I wantt to assigne value to a variable that doesn't exist before the radio button. How can i do that?

Could you please help me?

I need to show that the least square solution x that I obtained as x=pseudoinverse(A).b is the solution of Transpose(A).A.x=Transpose(A).b with the smallest norm. I've obtained the norm for the RHS of this expression as well as the norm of x but I'm unsure of how to conclude that this is the lowest possible norm using these values

where A^T is the transpose of A and it's given that (A^T).A is not invertible.

I am stuck as to how to arrive at the solution for x in this case. I initially thought I could multiply both sides by the inverse of A^T reducing it to Ax=b but that was obviously wrong since A^T is itself not invertible(it is singular).

I am a middle school teacher trying to program an app where a student will type in a linear equation in any form. They are to solve this for the variable Y and graph the line. I have most of this up and running, but I would like to include a step by step help system, where after entering the equation, the students can click on a button and it will display the 1st step to solve the equation. I am using the built-in function “LinearSolveSteps” in the Students [Basics] package. Every repeated click of the button would reveal the next step. I have this working to a point, but I don't seem to be able to add the next step into the math container without deleting the contents that are already in there. I have tried rebuilding the string by using the "+" but the + shows up in the equation and it is not on a new line. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

Take a 3d plot of some uneven surface in the xyz space and you want to have the surface colored according to local z-coordinates (e.g. a valley is blue, a peak is red with all rainbow colors inbetween). For such a color-coding one can in principal select the plot option "Color->Z (Hue)". What do you do if the valley and the peak are still more or less green colored? How can you force the valley and peak to have different colors?

I have this surface which I display with the following commands:

     Belt:=plots[surfdata](Surface,color=C,labels=["x","y","z"]):

     display({...,Belt});

It all works, and the surface has nice default rainbow colors, but when I choose Color->Z (Hue) everything turns to green. Also when I manually write in the first of the above lines "color=["Blue","Red"]" the surface turns all red. The ranges of the x and y axis are larger than the z axis by a factor of about 50. Might this be the problem? How can I adjust the color ranges for my small z axis?

How would you insert a label-coordinate in this command:

textplot3d([subs(E[11]=0,x[11]),subs(E[11]=0,y[11]),subs(E[11]=0,z[11]),"Planet"]):

I am attempting to plot an initial value problem in Maple 18.  I have my equation defined, as well as a general solution and two particular solutions at y(0)=3/4 and y(0)=1/2.  To graph, I entered the command

DEplot(de,y(x),x=-3..3,{[0,1/2],[0,3/4]},dirgrid=[12,12],color=black,linecolor=blue,thickness=2);

but instead of returning a graph, the software gave me the error message

Error, (in DEtools/DEplot/CheckDE) extra unknowns found: sinx

The Maple support site lists this as an unknown error, and as a new user, I'm not sure what to do.  What does this mean?

The algorithm that I need to replicate is as follows:

real function f(x,y)

integer n; real a,b,c,x,y

f<-max(|x|,|y|)

a<-min(|x|,|y|)

for n=1 to 3 do

b<-(a/f)^2

c<-b/(4+b)

f<-f+2*c*f

a<-ca

end for

end function f

How can I define f,a as  functions that I am later using as variables(in f=f+2cf,b=(a/f)^2)? also, is n just a variable for iteration?
