It is fine in Classic M17.  M12 is okay as well (hourglass cursor for a second but works fine).

 

@Carl Love I forgot to include the specs - Maple 17.00 Standard GUI on Win XP 32.  So it's either XP or a glitch in the earlier 17 release.  I'll have to upgrade later and confirm.  Nothing major, just something I came across and thought I'd mention it.

As of today, and of course for sheer entertainment purposes only.  Interestingly Sage has an equal number of users to Maple both of which are almost half of Mathematica, however the number of votes is a mere fraction of the actual number using them. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

That sort of sounds like an autocorrelation or spearman test.

@pagan It is a bit shocking to see how such a simple Mobius app could win?  But after all it's based on votes from users.  Is it possible the voting system was cheated? 

By the way, nice to see you back in Mapleprimes.  I thought you had fled to Mathematica (see here http://mapleprimes.com/posts/151056-Why-Did-You-Choose-Maple

 

@Preben Alsholm

Unfortunately in the help pages on procedure parameter modifiers

A parameter using either form of evaln may not appear after any parameter using the seq modifier.

Maybe a proc within a proc would work here?

In this case a simple combine expand works.  If we had say some function of cos(x) and wanted to express in terms of powers of sin(x) then we would have to use some other method.

Perhaps we should ask Pagan?  I recall someone mentioning he has switched over.  @nm yes it would interesting to have former Maple users opinions here, maybe someone here should start a thread in the Mathematica forum why they chose Mathemematica or switched over. 

Actually before I had purchased Maple, I was awed by the graphical adds that Mathematica put in various science magazines, Scientific American, popsci and popmech to name a few.  I vaguely recall seeing maybe 1 small add for Maple in SciAm but Mathematica's full page marketing adds really grabbed my attention. However at the time the price put it out of reach for me.  Later reaching university and going to the university computer store in search of Mathematica (being at Waterloo and the home of Maple, of course Mathematica would be no where to be found, obviously Maple was the campus wide choice) but finding Maple Vr3 for only $125 at the time was a deal - but at the time my decision was more set on mathematica.  The price made the choice for me back then, and I grew to enjoy Maple. 

 

The only problem I've had and still have in FF is the remember login for future visits doesn't work.  Just a minor annoyance at this point.  The good thing about having to always log in is it keeps me from forgetting my password.

The speed up is noticeable and a welcome improvement.

Works fine for me in FF.

 

 

I am.  So many sequences.  I wonder why so many?

At one point in time Maple users had only one location to share their ideas and applications and that was at MUG (the Maple Users Group).  The next transformation was the addition of an application center which had an explosion of applications for versions 5 and 6.  At a similar time mapleprimes was introduced where the occasional application was shared and sometimes but not always mirrored in the application center.  Following that came the Maple cloud where users worksheets could be searched and reviewed by fellow Maple colleagues. 

Now it is interesting to see the explosion of apps for the mobius app challenge, akin to the Maple V days in the app center.  The only difference?  Maple is more powerful, has more users and the added bonus of winning something for your efforts. 

Building on the answer

a:=seq(value(Limit((Sum((n-k)/(k+1),k=0..n-1)-ln(n!))/n,n=i)),i=1.0..60.)

It is interesting that IsWeekend is not a command.  However it is simple enough to create one.

IsWeekend := proc (date)
  is(StringTools:-ParseTime("%Y-%m-%d", date)[weekDay] = 7 or StringTools:-ParseTime("%Y-%m-%d", date)[weekDay] = 1)
end proc:
