In Maple 2015, on windows 8.1 64-bit the command
series(2*x*(x-y)/y, y = 0, 3);
gives

which is incorrect. The answer is


You can notice the minus sign in front the the -2x is incorrectly typeset, which makes me wonder if it's a bug in the typsetting program and not series itself.

Please fix asap

Hi,

     I'm trying to numerically solve a PDE in Maple for different boundary conditions, however I'm having trouble even getting Maple to numerically solve it for simple boundary conditions.

I have cylindrical coordinates, r, z, theta, and I treat r = r(z, theta) for convenience to plot my solution surface. The initial coundary condition is that at z = epsilon (z = 0 is singular) , r = constant and of course r is periodic in theta. This is just a circle, and the analytical solution is know to be a half-sphere  r = sqrt(R^2 - z^2). I entered my initial boundary conditions into Maple, but it doesn't like the periodic one

IBC := { r(epsilon, theta) = R - epsilon__r,
              r(z, 0) = r(z, 2*Pi) };

pdsolve(
  PDE,
  IBC,
  numeric,
  indepvars = [z, theta],
  time = z,
  range = 0..2*Pi);
Error, (in pdsolve/numeric/par_hyp) Incorrect number of boundary conditions, expected 2, got 1

I'm not sure how to make this work, and then generalize it to more arbitrary intial slices r(epsilon, theta) = f(theta).

Here's the attached worksheet, ForMaplePrimesSUbmission.mw

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks

Hello, 

     I an trying to plot a function of a single variable, which is an implicit function of another variable, i.e. I want to plot F(x(t)), given that x and t are related through the implicit constraint equation f(x,t) = 0. Is there any plot stuctures in Maple that would easily let me do this? I tried implicit plot but this seems insufficient. 

     As an example, consider plotting F = x + x^2 subject to f = x + sin(x) + ln (t) = 0. I could also write this as  a function subject o a differential constraint, as is f = diff(x(t), t) + 1/t + (diff(x(t), t))*cos(x(t)) = 0 and try to use some sort of implicit DE plotting routine. 

     Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi, 

     I have a question regarding pdsolve, or Solve from the PDEtools package. I have a set of equations relating partial derivatives, and I'd like to isolate certain terms without explicitly known the functions. I can do this for a single equation, but not multiple ones. I'm curious if Maple can currently handle a system of eqns like these easily, since I will be increasing the number of eqns in the future. Here's the code

Hi, 

     I've been playing around with the Physics package, and I'm confused on evaluaing derivatives of explicit funcitons of the coordinates. This code below doesnt behave as I would think. I'm trying to define z as a function of X[mu]*X[mu], and take diff(z, X[mu]). You can see that each method d_, diff,  disagree and none are satisfactory ansers. (Maple 2015, Windows 8.1 64-bit, Intel i5 Haswell) 

# Declare coordinates for 2 dimensions, flat space

restart:
with(Physics):
Setup(mathematicalnotation = true, dimension = 2):
Coordinates(X):

# Method 1: Using Define and various differential operators
Define(z):
z :=sqrt(R^2-X[mu]*X[mu]);
d_[mu](z(X));
d_[1](z(X));
diff(z, x1);  #This one is correct
diff(z, X[mu]); # off by 2

# Method #2: Using functions
# Off by a factor of 2
z2 := mu -> sqrt(R^2-X[mu]*X[mu]);
diff(z2(mu), X[mu]); # off by 2
