  • How can I write an algorithm in maple that gives me a lisft of the Fibonacci polynomies between two numbers using the recursion: F1(x) = 1 F2(x) = x Fn+1(x) = x*Fn(x) + Fn−1(x) if anyone knows please help me!! And the same question(gettin a list between two numbers) using the sum: sum(binomial(n-j-1,j)*x^(n-2j-1))),j=0..floor((n-1)/2) Please help... Thanks =D Jacob
    Have you ever plotted a function in Maple and then found that the range you plotted it on wasn't really what you wanted? You can always re-execute the command, of course, but that means working out exactly what the range is for that interesting feature you want to investigate, and if you've made changes to the plot those will be lost. However Maple has the ability to zoom in on a plot interactively, without re-executing the command. The Axis Properties dialog lets you change the range numerically, but you can also do so using the mouse. Go to the plot toolbar and click on the Scale plot axes button (it looks like a red ball with an arrow). If you have an animation you will need to click on the word "plot" above the toolbar to switch from animation to plot toolbar. Now put the mouse in the middle of the plot and drag it. Dragging it down will zoom out, increasing the range; dragging it up will zoom in. The Translate plot axes button lets you 'pan' i.e. move the centre of the axis ranges without changing the range size.
    maribel has 1.25 in her pocket.The money is in quarters and dimes.There are a total of 8 coins.How many quarters and dimes does Maribel have in her pocket?
    How can I write a recursive algorithm on maple wich gives me the fibonacci polinomies knowing that: F1(x) = 1 F2(x) = x Fn+1(x) = xFn(x) + Fn−1(x), n = 2, 3, ... help me please!!!

    To those who are interested: New version of FourierTrigSeries package was released. This release fixes a bug in ExploreFourierSeriesCoefficients procedure. FourierTrigSeries package provides new data structure for the representation of trigonometric series and also several procedures to manipulate with trigonometric series and to compute Fourier series. Visit the homepage and see some examples. Try also the online Fourier series calculator.
    I am fooling around a bit with dismantle and ToInert. In the light of the passage "For the exact internal representation, see dismantle," in the help page on ToInert, I am surprised to see that dismantle does not provide any information concerning the entries of a given matrix, as do ToInert:
    expr := Matrix(2,2,(i,j) -> m||i||j):
    dismantle(expr);
    ToInert(expr);
    
    RTABLE(11): 4 [1..2, 1..2]
       NAME(6): anything #[protected]
    
    _Inert_MATRIX(_Inert_RANGE(_Inert_INTPOS(1), _Inert_INTPOS(2)), _Inert_RANGE(_Inert_INTPOS(1), _Inert_INTPOS(2)), _Inert_SET(_Inert_EXPSEQ(_Inert_EQUATION(_Inert_EXPSEQ(_Inert_INTPOS(1), _Inert_INTPOS(1)), _Inert_NAME("m11")), _Inert_EQUATION(_Inert_EXPSEQ(_Inert_INTPOS(1), _Inert_INTPOS(2)), _Inert_NAME("m12")), _Inert_EQUATION(_Inert_EXPSEQ(_Inert_INTPOS(2), _Inert_INTPOS(1)), _Inert_NAME("m21")), _Inert_EQUATION(_Inert_EXPSEQ(_Inert_INTPOS(2), _Inert_INTPOS(2)), _Inert_NAME("m22")))), _Inert_EQUATION(_Inert_NAME("datatype"), _Inert_NAME("anything", _Inert_ATTRIBUTE(_Inert_NAME("protected", _Inert_ATTRIBUTE(_Inert_NAME("protected")))))), _Inert_EQUATION(_Inert_NAME("storage"), _Inert_NAME("rectangular")), _Inert_EQUATION(_Inert_ASSIGNEDNAME("order", "PROC", _Inert_ATTRIBUTE(_Inert_NAME("protected", _Inert_ATTRIBUTE(_Inert_NAME("protected"))))), _Inert_NAME("Fortran_order")))
    Why am I getting this strange result? evalb(sin(1)/cos(1) - tan(1) = 0) gives false but evalf(sin(1)/cos(1) - tan(1)) gives 0 so the evalb should give true. I originally got a result of (sin(x)^3) / (cos(x)^3) in a calculation and asked maple to simplify, expecting tan(x)^3. This led to my investigation of my assumptions about this trig identity. However, for the specific example above, Maple seems to be flat out wrong. Also the boolean returns true if the arg is changed to 0.
    If I create a question using the Question Designer, and I insert a Response Area of the List type, and the text of my list items contain multiple consecutive spaces, this will cause problems in the assignments that include this question... In the assignment, if I select an answer for this question using the drop-down list and then I navigate to another question and then return to this question, my answer will not be selected. And if I then navigate away from this question again without reselecting my answer, MapleTA will not record an answer for this question and so it will be marked incorrect.
    MapleTA currently restricts feedback in only one sense -- you can prevent access to feedback until AFTER a specified date. I provide MapleTA support for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and an instructor has come to me with what seems like a reasonable desire -- that unfortunately does not seem possible at this point. He is creating proctored exams. Students take proctored exams on campus in our testing center, which is staffed by proctors. The instructor wants his students to view the results of their exams in this proctored setting so that they can mentally take note of which questions they got wrong and which questions they got right, but cannot produce a hard copy of the exam. And he doesn't want students to be able to go back to their dorm rooms and view the exam.
    I was just wondering what a good book to learn engineering related mathematics with maple would be? There's one on the website of maplesoft but 125 seems a lot to pay for a book I'll use just for fun. So do you guys have any suggestions? Thnaks
    Is it possible to have the output of dismantle assigned to some variable, or written to some file? Please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that it cannot be persuaded to return anything but NULL, a fact which completely surprises me, if indeed true, for what is the benefit of that?

    This is a long shot, but I think Maplesoft should open up its bug database and allow MaplePrimes users to vote up or down on bugs, reddit style. This would provide direct feedback about which bugs really affect people. Behind the scenes you could cross-reference the votes with account data to get all kinds of useful information: like what bugs disproportionally affect new users, or what bugs annoy experienced Maple users the most, etc. This would allow you to focus attention...

    My recent post You read my mind made me skim through the old thread Width and depth. That reminded me that MapleSoft has never responded to the post Matrix and Vector construction shortcuts by Mariner, in which he (as I would most certainly appreciate too) calls for some illumination from MapleSoft on the whole area discussed in that thread.
