Right now, there are only a few application specific webinars available, but this is a relatively new offering, and I'm sure more are coming. If you have a top item on your wishlist, please let Maplesoft know.

This looks interesting, I think. Is it available anywhere for download? (I get an error message for http://www.lehalle.net, but that may be a temporary problem.) Who knows, maybe you want to offer it via MapleConnect?

Please see here.

In case you would want to catch things like 0^0=1 (and maybe write your own event handler), Maple permits that via NumericStatus(invalid_operation), which changes from false to true. Please see the help page for more information.

I think we have an example of the specialization problem here. This is difficult in general, but Maple 10 will solve it if you supply an option to the int command (in addition to your assumption): t1:=int(sin(x)*sin(k*x),x=0..Pi,AllSolutions)

Actually, Maple 10.01 and newer can load mwz files ("Maple compressed worksheet"), which are used for the new e-books such as the AEM. I think the emphasis is on encryption, and I don't know the compression factor.

I'd be interested as well, as I have not yet used all of those new features.

It seems that from Maple 9 on, you need an assumption for this to succeed. Add assuming k>0 to your input line.

The student package has been (more or less) superseded by the Student package, particularly its subpackage Calculus1. It's not a 1:1 replacement; you also need IntegrationTools and the Equate command (new in Maple 10) and maybe some more. AFAIK, there is no direct eqivalent to the intercept command, but you can solve equations by other means, as shown in Thomas Madden's posting. Another command is Roots: with(Student[Calculus1]): Roots(sin(x)); Warning, the expression has an infinity of roots, some examples of which are given [-Pi, 0, Pi] Roots(sin(x),x=-10..10); [-3 Pi, -2 Pi, -Pi, 0, Pi, 2 Pi, 3 Pi]

Adept Scientifc plc, the Maple distributor for UK and Denmark, provides another MUG archive.

Please look here and (more specifically) here. As you can see, Maple 10 supports new 64 bit Linux platforms, both AMD64 architecture (Opteron and Athlon64, as well as Intel chips with EM64T) and Intel's Itanium II.

As for your last remark, did you enter ?RealRange in Maple 10? I get a nice help page, more specific than the ?properties page in earlier versions.

As an aside, from Maple 9 on, you can use LinearAlgebra[MatrixExponential] instead of linalg[exponential]. This routine has been optimized considerably in Maple 10 for floating-point data. Please see ?updates,Maple9,enhancedpackages1 and ?updates,Maple10,efficiency. However, I have not yet modified your code (still running the original version)...

Right, my Maple worksheet is no longer brute force, as it uses a set to avoid unnecessary work - in contrast to the original BASIC program. I should have changed the title in my blog post. And the problem can be done in your head, true. Back in the mid-80s, computers were not that widely spread among TV audience. ;-) However, 84_pickmax.mpl does not solve the "Kopf um Kopf" challenge, where each digit may occur only once, and which has a unique solution. Also, I have not yet figured out how to easily change 84_ponderthis.mw to accomplish that task. Can you give more hints? Thanks!
