Hello,

Apparently, this is an upload problem...

When clicking the "green arrow", I can upload the .lib file, but I end up with a link to the .ind one, whatever I do.

I shall try and understand what is happening. Meanwhile, I send you a private Email (if possible...)

Sorry, and regards

Paul

Sorry....

Does it look better now?

Could you be a little more specific?

Does the attached package only work under Maple 12? If yes, I shall investigate why.

However, it would help me if you knew more precisely what instruction, routine, etc... is causing an issue.

Thank you...

There is no doubt it works, however that was not exactly the question....

The fact is that the "deprecated student" package allows performing this simplification automatically - which seems logical, since the case indeed trivial....

There is no doubt that one can reach the solution by operand manipulation, and there is no doubt that you have found a very clever way to do that. But to find this solution requires - at least to me...- a fair amount of thinking, which is precisely what I would like to avoid in such a case - why should I dive deep into the differences between Sum and sum, and into the idiosyncrasies of op and map, just to factor the constant terms out of a basic sum?

So I shall reformulate my question: is is possible to have Maple automatically simplfying such expressions without resorting to the "student" deprecated package? If not, why was this behaviour "deprecated"?

Well, that is exactly what I mean by "well documented". Indeed, when I put my mouse on the first entry, the bubble help contains

a[n];

wheras on the second I get

`a[n]`;

How am I to understand that this means an atomic identifier??

Maple general help is of little "help.."
