Just to clarify, so if an issue is brought up here in mapleprimes there is a possibility that it will go un-noticed by maplesoft?

I realize some issues brought up by people are sometimes solved within, but there is an occassional request for input from maplesoft on these forums that go un-answered.  Just recently a question only maplesoft could answer here and there has been no reply http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/123111-Maple-1501

I am going to guess...

Any word on an applications collection DVD(s) from maplesofts applications center for offline browsing?
I had made the suggestion a while ago.  What is the status of that project?  Is it still under consideration?

I thought it could be purchased seperately, or included in new releases of Maple.

  * Update button that updates a folder on your...

A simple timing program

st:=time():
for i to 35 do
  i;
end do;
time()-st;

On M16 seems to display after 7 seconds, the time reads 0.010
On M12 it displays in roughly 2 seconds with the time as 0.170

It is physically longer with M16.  Do others get the same results?

**edit add**
No comments?  I should add that it is a laptop 1.4Ghz single core.  Not that it matters but maybe M16 is set up to work more efficiently...

This is branched from Maple 16.01

I don't know the reason for the break.  In trying to replicate the graph shown for Mathematica for Maple I am finding it difficult to locate the number of mathematical functions for various versions of Maple. 

The only reference I find is that Maple 16 contains over 5000 mathematical functions, many more than Mathematica 8, but they are programmed different so I can't compare that.  However trying to compare it...

The fourier transform of a signal results in an answer with Real and Imaginary parts.

When I want to plot those results, is it correct that I need to take sqrt(Re^2 + Im^2)  ? 

However, if I just plot the Real parts of the answer why is that not correct?  Of course half the answer is missing, the imaginary part? but since it's imaginary it's not really that real and so why should it be included? 

Can someone shed some quick light on that subject for me?
