questions I already asked

Jean-Michel — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 09:29:44 Z

Hello,

I already ask these questions but can't find the answers :

1) about Maple floats (i.e the equivalent command

for $MaxNumber,$MinNumber, etc)

2) how to get the list of all Packages with their commands

3) the list of all commands of Maple

(for example 'transpose' appears in ...12 packages, but I only know in mathematics only one

'transpose' , i.e the transpose of a matrix)

Thank you very much and all the best,

Jean-Michel

Does Maple work with a VPN?

nmacsai — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 16:13:47 Z

Does Maple natively work while using a VPN? If not, where do I go to learn how to configure it so it will work using a VPN? In Maple 2025 and Maple 2026, Maple will soft-lock when when attempting to execute any worksheet or attempting to read any help section when using a VPN under the default configuration configuration of Maple.

How to solve functional equations?

Alfred_F — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 10:46:41 Z

...like the following without AI assistance ? Looking for differentiable solutions! The solution is not to be found in the books by Aczel or Small: L(x)*L(y) = L(2*x*y + x + y). (I know the stressful solution from my notes - the ones made with pen and paper.)

Is there a way in Maple to categorize functional equations into specific classes (e.g., Cauchy type) - and thereby identify corresponding solution methods - much like how Maple handles the solving of ordinary differential equations?

Recurrence relation for partial sequence?

Geoff — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 03:55:49 Z

Given the sequence L = [1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19],

how can I find a recurrence relation using only the values:

L[2] = 3, L[5] = 9, L[7] = 13, L[8] = 15, L[9] = 17, L[10] = 19 ?

What's next for the Maple Conference

pchin — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 16:19:29 Z

For those who are familiar with the long history of the Maple Conference, you’ll know that we vary the format from time to time, and for the next conference, we'll be trying something new!

The next event will be a user conference, strongly focused on enabling Maple users to get the most out of Maple, increasing their knowledge and abilities through a series of technical talks by Maple experts. We’ll release more details later, but our main goal is to engage with and support the many customers who love Maple and want to learn how to do even more with it. This event will be held in the spring of 2027, which we hope will be a convenient time for those who find it difficult to attend a fall event.

Another aspect of past conferences has been the opportunity for users to share their work with the Maple community. We'd like to remind you that the Maple Transactions, an open-access online journal, is an ideal place to publish your work, and you can see an overview of the journal in this short video. If you prefer a less formal venue, we encourage you to post right here on MaplePrimes to share your work and interact with the community.

We will share more details as we get closer to the event. For now, we just wanted to give you an idea of the plans, as we know that many people look forward to the Maple Conference and expect to hear from us around this time.

"Identify" for sequences of numbers?

Alfred_F — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 07:29:10 Z

While practicing with the "identify" command, I came across the question:

Does Maple offer a way to determine the generating rule for a sequence of numbers given by a finite initial segment?

Here is a riddle for this:

The sequences {s_n} = 1/1; 1/2; 1/3; ... and {t_n} = 0/1; 1/2; 2/3; 3/4; ... have the formation rules

s_n = 1/n and t_n = (n-1)/n.
What is the formation rule for the sequence {u_n} = {s_n; t_n} formed by alternating between the two?
Note: The solution is not u_2n = t_n and u_(2n−1) = s_n. Rather, the goal is to find a single, unified formation rule u_n that yields the terms of the combined sequence for n = 1; 2; 3; ...

How would one go about querying AI in Maple?
