Intersection of surfaces:

x3-.25*(sin(4*x1)+sin(3*x2+x3)+sin(2*x2))=0;  (1)

(x1-xx1)^4+(x2-xx2)^4+(x3-xx3)^4-1=0;          (2)   

   Surface (1) and a set of surfaces (2). Point (xx1, xx2, xx3) belongs to (1). Moving along the surface (1), we compute its intersection with the surface (2).
   The program is very simple and its algorithm can be used for many other combinations of equations.

The well-known  combinat[composition]  command computes and returns a list containing all distinct ordered  k-tuples of positive integers whose elements sum equals  n . These are known as the compositions of  n .  For some applications, additional constraints are required for the elements of these k-tuples, for example, that they are within a certain range.

The  Composition  procedure solves this problem. Required parameters:  n - a nonnegative integer, k - a positive integer. The parameter  res  is the optional parameter (by default  res is  0 ). If  res  is a number, all elements of  k-tuples must be greater than or equal  res .  If  res  is a range  a .. b ,   all elements of  k-tuples must be greater than or equal  a  and  less than or equal  b .  Composition(n,k,1)  is equivalent to  combinat[composition](n,k) .

The code of the procedure:

Composition := proc (n::nonnegint, k::posint, res::{range, nonnegint} := 0)

local a, b, It, L0; 

if res::nonnegint then a := res; b := n-(k-1)*a  else a := lhs(res); b := rhs(res) fi;

if b < a or b*k < n then return `No solutions` fi; 

It := proc (L)

local m, j, P, R, i, N;

m := nops(L[1]); j := k-m; N := 0;

for i to nops(L) do

R := n-`+`(op(L[i]));

if R <= b*j and a*j <= R then N := N+1;

P[N] := [seq([op(L[i]), s], s = max(a, R-b*(j-1)) .. min(R, b))] fi;

od;

[seq(op(P[s]), s = 1 .. N)];

end proc;

L0 := [[]];

(It@@k)(L0); 

end proc:

Three simple examples:

Composition(10,3); ``;   # All terms greater than or equal 0

Composition(10,3, 2);   # All terms greater than or equal 2

Composition(10,3, 2..4);   # All terms greater than or equal 2 and less than or equal to 4 

A more complex example. The problem - to find all the numbers in the range  1 .. 99999999  whose digits sum is equal to 21 .

Each number is represented by a list of digits from left to right, replacing missing digits at the left with zeros.

M:=Composition(21,8, 0..9):  

nops(M);  # The number of solutions

[seq(M[1+100000*i], i=0..9)]; # 10 solutions from the list M starting the first one

seq(add(%[i,k]*10^(8-k), k=1..8),i=1..nops(%));  # Conversion into numbers

Greetings to all.

I am writing to alert MaplePrimes users to a Maple package that makes an remarkable contribution to combinatorics and really ought to be part of your discrete math / symbolic combinatorics class if you teach one. The combstruct package was developed at INRIA in Paris, France, by the algorithmics research team of P. Flajolet during the mid 1990s. This software package features a parser for grammars involving combinatorial operators such as sequence, set or multiset and it can derive functional equations from the grammar as well as exponential and ordinary generating functions for labeled and unlabeled enumeration. Coefficients of these generating functions can be computed. All of it easy to use and very powerful. If you are doing research on some type of combinatorial structure definitely check with combstruct first.

My purpose in this message is to advise you of the existence of this package and encourage you to use it in your teaching and research. With this in mind I present five applications of the combstruct package. These are very basic efforts that admit improvement that can perhaps serve as an incentive to deploy combstruct nonetheless. Here they are:

• A parity bias for trees
• Number of nodes with even offspring
• Trees with odd degree sequence
• Ordered rooted trees with all nodes having at least two child nodes
• Average depth of a leaf in an ordered binary tree

I hope you enjoy reading these and perhaps you might want to feature combstruct as well, which presented the first complete implementation in a computer algebra system of the symbolic method, sometimes called the folklore theorem of combinatorial enumeration, when it initially appeared.

Best regards,

Marko Riedel.

Currently calculations: equations, regression analysis, differential equations, etc; to mention a few of them; are developed using traditional methods ie even are proposed and solved by hand and on paper. In teaching our scientists and engineers use the chalkboard as a way to reach students and enable them to solve their calculation. To what extent Maple contributes to research on new mathematical models applied science and engineering ?. Maplesoft appears as a proposal to resolve problems with our traditional proposed intelligent algorithms, development process, embedded components, and not only them but also generates type applications for Apple ipad tablets signature. Based on the computer algebra system Maple Maplesoft gives us the package which works exactly like we were on our work. I will show how mathematics is developed from a purely basic to reach modeling differential equations applied to education and engineering. Also visualizare current techniques for developing applications for mobile devices.

Hello Everyone, I am new one in the community..

In this work we show you what to do with the programming of Embedded Components applied to graphics in the Cartesian plane; from the visualization of a point up to three-dimensional objects and also using the Maple language generare own interactive applications for touch screen technology in mobile devices techniques. Given that computers use multicore and designed algorithms that solve calculus problems with very good performance in time; this brings programming to more complex mathematical structures such as in the linear algebra, analytic geometry and advanced methods in numerical analysis. The graphics will show real-time results for the correct use of the parallel programming undertook to bear the procedural technique is well suited to the data structure, curves and surfaces. Interaction in a single graphical container allowing the teaching and / or research the rapid change of parameters; giving a quick interpretation of the results.

The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, often abbreviated to the Putnam Competition, is an annual mathematics competition for undergraduate college students enrolled at institutions of higher learning in the world (regardless of the students' nationalities). One can see some problems and answers here. I find it remarkable that a lot of these problems can be done with Maple. Here is a sample (The DirectSearch package should be downloaded from http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/view.aspx?SID=101333 and installed in your Maple.).

Hope the reader will try to continue the above.
