Hello Everyone

I wonder if anybody can help. I'm trying to use maple to find the largest mutual sequences of digits in two lists of 5000 dozenal (base 12) digits (I've tried searching on Maple help for a function that would do this, but am having trouble as I'm not sure what this would be called - a fellow music student suggested correlation - would this be correct?)

On a small scale, the function I am looking for would return the following sequence:

[5, A, 3, 8, 9]

from the example lists

A:= [1, 7, 8, 5, A, 3, 8, 9, B, 4] and

Hello - I wonder if anyone can help.

I want to convert the square root of 2 into base 12 from decimal, to about 1000 digits. I've had a go at this with Maple using convert/base but this will only let me convert integers. Is there a way to display sqrt(2) in base 12, either by calculating sqrt(2) and then converting, or calculating and converting all in one go?

Thanks for any suggestions
