Changing P:=100.15; and r:=50; returns the value  100.15 1.500000000ⁿ   It makes it a little harder to see the multiplication space.  Regardless I think maple needs to put in something other than a space.  I think the multiplication dot would make it a little confusing.  Let's see ...     100.15^.1.500000000ⁿ  Little better.  I still think brackets are the way to go. 

100. (1.050000000)ⁿ  .... not really sure why maple puts a decimal place after the 100 though.

Not brackets for the exponent.  Brackets to separate the 100 from the 1.05  It looks like it's a number with two decimal points raised to the power n like so  100.1.0500000ⁿ    interface(prettyprint=1) doesn't make it any better

That's a good one.  As Acer mentioned, different commands, rewrites of code etc... make that not possible ... unless ....  You'd need the full code of all versions, that's a lot of Mb's and wasted space.  That would be exactly like installing every version of Maple on your computer. 

Sorry to swing off topic here but why does Matlab take up so much more space than Maple?  It's almost 4 x's the space.

Thanks!  Wonder why it's not default?  Oh well, not a problem to set it up. And thanks for all the explanations.  Much appreciated.

Great thanks, no problems.

How would one plot this revolution in maple?

Thanks.  I didn't know you could do that.  Thanks for the trick.

Thanks. 

It's too bad the command for finding the monthly rate isn't part of the finance package.

Sorry my mistake.  I named the folder Toolbox in the maple directory and directed it to the folder Tools instead.   

It works now.
