Why is Maple 13 giving me

instead of (s-3)/((s-3)^2+4)?

Thank you!

I really need to factor minus one from -x-yI. I can do -[x+yI] and -{x+yI}. I cannot do -(x+yI).
Well, i really don't have these numbers exactly. They are produced within a Maple program.
I have something like ab, where a is the number x+yI. The little trick -`a`b will not work because
of the rather involved form of "a".
Thank you!

How do we print the determinant as a matrix with vertical bars instead of brackets?
Thanks!

When I put "print(A=B=C);" in Maple 13 I get the error:

Error, `=` unexpected

about the second equality sign. How do I remedy that?
Thanks!

I input print(lambda*I) and I get I*lambda (Greek lambda symbol); Why is the order reversed?
Maple 13 (GUI) is doing it.
Thanks!
