Hi, 

I'm french and I'm working on an Imac.

The path for the desktop is  /Users/myname/Desktop.
If cur := "/Users/myname", one can easily verify this:

IsDirectory(cat(cur, "/Desktop"))
                              true

In some application I'm developping, I use a  FileDialog Maplet to select a directory where to write a file.
For an unknown reason this maplet doesn't display the desktop with the name Desktop, but with it's french counterpart Bureau.

# Observe thet the desktop (8th line above) is named "Desktop"
# Now run 

 maplet := Maplet(
      FileDialog['FD1'](
        'title' = "Output Directory", 
        'directory' = cur,
        'fileselectionmode' = directoriesonly, 
        'onapprove' = Shutdown(['FD1']), 
        'oncancel' = Shutdown()
      )
    ):

res := Maplets[Display](maplet):
StringTools:-StringSplit(res[], cur);

                        ["", "/Bureau"]

As a result, saving a file in cur/Bureau generates an error.
Here is a more detailed worksheet:

Of course I have adjusted my code in an ad hoc way by french translating  what the maplet returns, but it is just a band-aid on a larger wound. For instance "Downloads" appears as "Téléchargements", and so on, and many names potentially need to be translated.

I do not understand why FileTools seems to "work in english" while  FileDialog seems to "work in french".
I suspect this is due to the fact that my Imac, although natively "English speaking", uses a French overlay. 
For instance the  Unix command pwd run in a terminal window indicates Users or Desktop, while  < command + i > executed on a given file displays Utilisateurs and Bureau.
Could it be that FileTools relies upon English, while FileDialog  relies upon the regionalized language?


What do you advice me:

• to intervene at the Apple level by changing the "user" language my Imac uses, 
• to intervene at the FileDialog  level (if possible),
• or to keep translating undesired outcomes from FileDialog?
   

Thanks in advance

I need to treat Eqs. (1.85-1.86) as a system of equations that should be solved simultaneously, and use numerical solutions in Eqs. (1.87-1.90)
Do you know if there are in-built commands that can do this?

It's ok isolate command? I need the solution sin(a)=+-1/(3^0.5)

attach photo, i need simple step after 2.78 like book, solution is sin(a)=+-1/(3)^0.5.

Dear all

I try to understand why maple does ot plot the behavior of x^1/3 for negative real number, 

inverse_function_xthree.mw

root(x,3) is function defined verywhere, but why maple plot only this function for x positive 

thank you

Hi again. I have been stuck on this for almost 3 hours by now, and i have ran out of ideas..

I am working on a proof called dandelin spheres, which proves you can get an ellipse by cutting a cone with a plane.

I have found the right equation for both semi circles, the line (cone) and the plane.

I have defined the spheres as semi circles, and the cone as a line, which i am plotting by using the surface of revolution command.

The problem lies within the fact, that i cannot use the intersectplot command with surface of revolution, and i need the plot to show the intersection between the plane and cone. 

The following shapes are defined:

cone line - f := x -> 0.5*x;
small sphere - g := x -> sqrt(0.8944271908^2 - (x - 2)^2)

bigger sphere - h := x -> sqrt(3.354101965^2 - (x - 7.5)^2)

plane - m(x, 0) := 1.216350358*x - 3.841106394

with the following command i recieve this output, which i nice, but i am missing the final part, the ellipse.

I hope someone can help a desperate student :)

Hello, everyone!

I have a problem. Colleague send me a figure in maple-file – .mw. How to export data from this plot? I usually use "plottools:-getdata" command, but what strategy should I apply in case of attached file?

Dear all,
I want to create a superscripted and subscripted variable in 1-D math. I know that I can establish a subscripted variable by using double “_”, for example, the execution of the following command causes assignment 2 to u__b, in which b is the subscript of u.
u__b:=2;
However, I don’t know any way to create either a superscripted variable or a variable having both the subscript and superscript in 1-D math.
Can anyone help me?
 Best wishes

Dear MaplePrimes community,

I'm trying to calculate the (Moore-Penrose) pseudoinverse of a matrix using the following code:

with(LinearAlgebra):
Identity := Matrix(2, 2, [[1, 0], [0, 1]]):
A := Matrix(2, 2, [[0.5661180126, 0.4338819876], [0.8316071431, 0.1683928571]]):
MatrixInverse(Identity - A, method = pseudo)

Unfortunately, the output appears to be meaningless (and it conincides with what I'm getting by calculating a simple matrix inverse using "MatrixInverse(Identity - A)"). Am I missing something? (And how do I calculate the (Moore-Penrose) pseudoinverse of the matrix (Identity-A)?)

Special characters like æ,ø,å are causing some troubles when used in Maple Code attachments in workbooks.

I've managed to get around the problem by using HTML equivalents in the first run, but then this will cause problems when exporting the same strings to Excel.

Funnily this problem just arises in Workbooks, not when using the same code in a code edit region.

I have two functions u(x,y,t) and p(x,y,t).

I want to find the total derivative of D_x( p*u) (where * is the multiplication)

where D_x is as given in the attached file formula_of_D_x.pdf 

Also, it is given in the following link but it's not clear to me. I think it somehow resembles my query, but not clear about the syntax so that I should implement it on mine.

Dear all

Strange phenomena...Every thing is well coded.
Using numeric solution pdsolve and  and solution based on iterative solution, gives a slighty different curve.. 

All matrices are well coded, and everything is okay... But  what happen... to get two different curves at same time.

Thank you for any help 

Dear all

if I have a vector defined as u[1..11,1]:=

How can display the coeffients of  this vectors 
can I plot the vector 

Thanks for any help

I have a complex PDE as follows:

where u(x, t) is a complex function.

The following function u_11(x, t) is a solution for the PDE above. 

where

I want to check whether the u_11(x,t) is a solution for the PDE or NOT. 

 How to correctly define the complex PDE in MAPLE?
 

PDE:=I*diff(u(x,t),t)+diff(u(x,t),x$2)+alpha*(abs(u(x,t))^2)*u(x,t)+ I*( gamma[1]*diff(u(x,t),x$3) + gamma[2]*(abs(u(x,t))^2)*u(x,t) + gamma[3]*diff((abs(u(x,t))^2),x)*u(x,t) )=0;

or

PDE:=I*diff(u(x,t),t)+diff(u(x,t),x$2)+alpha*(evalc(abs(u(x,t))^2))*u(x,t)+ I*( gamma[1]*diff(u(x,t),x$3) + gamma[2]*(evalc(abs(u(x,t))^2))*u(x,t) + gamma[3]*diff((evalc(abs(u(x,t))^2)),x)*u(x,t) )=0;

Let's check the solution is right or not:

k:=(gamma[2]+2*gamma[3]-3*gamma[1]*alpha)/(6*gamma[1]*gamma[3]);
omega:=(((1-3*gamma[1]*k)*(2*k-c-3*gamma[1]*(k^2))  )/(gamma[1]))+(k^2)-gamma[1]*(k^3);

uu[11]:=1/(gamma[2]+2*gamma[3])^(1/2)*(-3*(3*k^2*gamma[1]+c-2*k))^(1/2 )*sin(1/2/gamma[1]*2^(1/2)*(gamma[1]*(3*k^2*gamma[1]+c-2*k))^(1/2)*(-c*t+x))/ cos(1/2/gamma[1]*2^(1/2)*(gamma[1]*(3*k^2*gamma[1]+c-2*k))^(1/2)*(-c*t+x))*exp( I*(k*x-omega*t));

pdetest(u(x,t)=uu[11],PDE);
