Hi,

I am using Maple in Document mode and I want to print my worksheet. Is there a possibility to show the page margins as an overlay so that I can adjust the lines of my worksheet in order to avoid automatic breaks making the print difficult to read?

I have two equations (assignments, to be accurate) from which I know they are equal:

f__1 := sqrt(4*a^2 + lambda__g^2)*c/(2*lambda__g*a)

f__2 := c*sqrt(1/lambda__g^2 + 1/(4*a^2))

However:

testeq(f__1 = f__2) returns FAIL

verify(f__1, f__2, equal) returns  FAIL

and

simplify(f__1 - f__2, sqrt)

does not return 0 but

-c*(sqrt((4*a^2 + lambda__g^2)/(lambda__g^2*a^2))*lambda__g*a - sqrt(4*a^2 + lambda__g^2))/(2*lambda__g*a)

What is the best method for checking such equalities?

I am sorry for not using the Maple Math input option but fpr such reason it did not accept the expressions in this question. I am sure I made a mistake but I do not know what mistake.

I tested all methods mentioned above with the 1. Binominal equation sucessfully.

In order to use a physical constant I have to load the package "ScientificConstants". For instance, if I need the speed of light, c, I have to assign c:= Constant(c). In other words just by loading ScientificConstants the constants are not automatically assigned. Is that correct?

I tried to generate a simple plot based on an expression using units. Please see the screenshot of the worksheet below

The y-axis should be scaled in m³ not m² because a, b and the variable r are in m. I know that it is possible to enforce the axis scaling in units using useunits but since the mathematical definition of the expression is clear this should not be necessary.

The other question is why is the y-axis missing the variable name? On this page on the Online Help http://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=MaplePortal/UnitsInPlots it is mentioned "When you plot an expression, the axes labeling shows the variable names and units." I think what I am plotting is an expression.

The angle unit of the SI system is rad and its dimension is 1. In engineering angles are often scaled in degrees. Maple supports the unit "deg" or "arcdeg". However when calculating with these units it does not convert deg to rad automatically and replace rad by 1. Here is an example:

The result of evalf(B) should be 15.708 (= 5*pi), i.e. a value without dimension, neither arcdeg nor rad. How do I get the correct result?
