What do you think about it? This is a result of calculation by my package on Maple language.

I'm curious. How do people write large-scale programming projects in Maple? I'm interested in both the interface they use for said writing, plus the style. For example, I would like to have an editor that does syntax highlighting, indents, and balances brackets for me. Is there such a thing? Second, what is the preferred style to do these things? I used to do it by having a huge file where several procedures were defined in it. I would load this file with read(). How about OOP abilities in Maple? Mathematicians think OOPly. I think you can declare new datatypes (remind me how), but is there a good way to go as far and declare objects?

The control(menus, buttons, ..etc) font of maple is ugly on linux jdk 1.4.x. So I tried to run maple on jdk 5.0 with swing.aatext=true option. I have installed crimson xml parser at {maple installation dir}/java directory. And I tried to start maple. But maple didn't start with next exception. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: No such child: 0 at java.awt.Container.getComponent(Container.java:280) at com.maplesoft.mathdoc.components.dockingtools.WmiBorderSplitPane$DockContainer.(Unknown Source) at com.maplesoft.mathdoc.components.dockingtools.WmiBorderSplitPane.addAtLocation(Unknown Source)

Hi everybody, I'm new to this site, I did a search and looked through the topics but did not find anything regarding a problem I'm having with Maple 10.02 : EDIT BELOW: Problem now solved! While running a "for" loop containing some very very large equations the evaluation would stop and a window would say "Connection to kernel was lost." I finally determined that the mserver.exe process had quit, causing this message. I have configured my firewall to permit all communications that maple and mserver want to do. The worksheet is a translation from an older version (Maple V R4 ...), the worksheet and the loop ran fine in Maple VR4, but I get the above mentioned problem when running the worksheet in Maple 10. I've translated the code into the updated language, but I still get the error. The loop in question is:

Does anyone know why an "inline" Maple 10 plot exported as an eps figure (by right-clicking on the figure) is not compatible with the psfrag.sty package for LaTex? Oddly, writing the plot "directly" to an eps with the following commands does produce an eps figure that is compatible with psfrag.sty, i.e., the axes labels can be replaced with LaTex math symbols: > plotsetup(ps, plotoutput = `fig1.eps`, plotoptions=`portrait,noborder,height=5in,width=5in`); > plot(sin(x),x=0..1,labels=[x,y]); Looking in the eps files themselves, the "inline" version (%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0, Creator: FreeHEP Graphics2D Driver) writes the x axis label with

dcasimir asks for an efficient way to create a list of the first n primes, without invoking nextprime, etc. An easy way to do this is to use a do loop to build up a sequence term by term. However, as Alec points out, this is not an efficient technique in Maple. It runs as O(n^2), where n is the number of items in the sequence. A way to avoid the inefficiency is to forego building a sequence and instead insert the items into a table. Then, after exiting the loop, convert the table to a list.

My last post in "How Do I Newbie", and subsequent replies mistakenly appeared on the front page of the Maple Primes site. I don't know how this happened. Could anyone see if there's a possible glitch with the site or just my account ? I'm not sure if one of the options when creating posts is to choose the main page as one of the forums to post your topic. dc.

Hello. I badly know English and I ask to excuse. I use Maple10. I can not execute integration of complex{difficult} function. Ic:=int(A/(1+(r-r0)^2/A^2)*(1/sqrt(1-w0^2/r^2)),r=w0..infinity); Thanks for attention.

This is a copy of a post I made at the comp.soft-sys.math.maple newsgroup: I just installed the x86_64 version of maple 10 on my ubuntu linux desktop, but I can't figure out why xmaple won't run. Installing in the first place was a bit of a pain: I had to use the '-i console' parameter, and once it was installed, I had to chmod +x the executables and replace the maple10/jre.X86_64_LINUX/bin and maple10/jre.X86_64_LINUX/lib directories with links to my current java version's (1.5.0_06) directories. I had no problem activating, and plain old console 'maple' runs fine, but nothing happens when I try to run 'xmaple' or 'maple -x'. It just pauses for a second or two when I press return, and then ends. Now I know this distribution of linux isn't supported, but I don't see why it can't be made to work. Any suggestions?

Happy New Year everyone! I've kicked off the year with a new poll. T4.

I have a Primitive Polynomial over GF(2) of degree 8. p(x) = x^8 + x^6 + x^3 + x^2 + 1 I need to evaluate a root 'w' such that p(w) = 0 How do I do it?

I'm trying to solve a partial differential equation with two boundary conditions below.  The general solution contains arbitrary functions of the non-differentiated variable.  These functions are solved for and assigned but do not appear in the final solution return.  Can anybody help me with this?

It would be really nice if Maple would include PDF support in the future. More and more people are producing content directly in PDF (with pdflatex for example) rather than PS. PS isn't even directly supported on the Mac directly; it is always converted to PDF before it is displayed. Most printers can process and print a PDF file directly. Does anybody else wish Maple could produce PDF?

It is often difficult to use the Symbolic toolbox of Matlab (which is linked to the Maple engine). It can be difficult to read the input and output from the toolbox. To solve this problem, I have developed a graphical interface to the Symbolic toolbox as I describe below.
