Take a 3d plot of some uneven surface in the xyz space and you want to have the surface colored according to local z-coordinates (e.g. a valley is blue, a peak is red with all rainbow colors inbetween). For such a color-coding one can in principal select the plot option "Color->Z (Hue)". What do you do if the valley and the peak are still more or less green colored? How can you force the valley and peak to have different colors?

I have this surface which I display with the following commands:

     Belt:=plots[surfdata](Surface,color=C,labels=["x","y","z"]):

     display({...,Belt});

It all works, and the surface has nice default rainbow colors, but when I choose Color->Z (Hue) everything turns to green. Also when I manually write in the first of the above lines "color=["Blue","Red"]" the surface turns all red. The ranges of the x and y axis are larger than the z axis by a factor of about 50. Might this be the problem? How can I adjust the color ranges for my small z axis?

How would you insert a label-coordinate in this command:

textplot3d([subs(E[11]=0,x[11]),subs(E[11]=0,y[11]),subs(E[11]=0,z[11]),"Planet"]):

I am attempting to plot an initial value problem in Maple 18.  I have my equation defined, as well as a general solution and two particular solutions at y(0)=3/4 and y(0)=1/2.  To graph, I entered the command

DEplot(de,y(x),x=-3..3,{[0,1/2],[0,3/4]},dirgrid=[12,12],color=black,linecolor=blue,thickness=2);

but instead of returning a graph, the software gave me the error message

Error, (in DEtools/DEplot/CheckDE) extra unknowns found: sinx

The Maple support site lists this as an unknown error, and as a new user, I'm not sure what to do.  What does this mean?

The algorithm that I need to replicate is as follows:

real function f(x,y)

integer n; real a,b,c,x,y

f<-max(|x|,|y|)

a<-min(|x|,|y|)

for n=1 to 3 do

b<-(a/f)^2

c<-b/(4+b)

f<-f+2*c*f

a<-ca

end for

end function f

How can I define f,a as  functions that I am later using as variables(in f=f+2cf,b=(a/f)^2)? also, is n just a variable for iteration? 

At the internet site of The Heun Project, a strong declaration is made that only Maple incorporates Heun functions, which arise in the solution of differential equations that are extremely important in physics, such as the solution of Schroedinger's equation for the hydrogen atom.  Indeed solutions appear in Heun functions, which are highly obscure and complicated to use because of their five or six arguments, but when one tries to convert them to another function, nothing seems to work.  For instance, if one inquires of FunctionAdvisor(display, HeunG), the resulting list contains

"The location of the "branch cuts" for HeunG are [sic, is] unknown ..." followed by several other "unknown" and an "unable". Such a solution of a differential equation is hollow.

Incidentally, Maple's treatment of integral equations is very weak -- only linear equations with simple solutions, although procedures by David Stoutemyer from 40 years ago are available to enhance this capability.

When can we expect these aspects of Maple to work properly, for applications in physics?

hi, is there a way to collect all commands in one place which have been used during a clickable math session of a document? in fact this would help in creating automated tasks.

How I can get a list of all label refernces of a worksheet. In fact I want to write a small code which would produce the LaTex output (written to a text file) for my indicated labels. thanx

I am new to Maple. I am working though the manual and in chapter two I tried to get the derivative of ln(x^2+1). I am getting something completely different that the actual derivative. I tried a simple derivatie (the derivative of 2x and get 0). I do not know what I am doing wrong. Any help will be appreciated.

we always have subscript variable in the math book, but how could this be natral done in maple

I want to get a seq a₁ a₂ a₃

seq(a[i],i=1..3)

but how could I get a  a_ij

seq(a[i_j],i=1..3);

and

seq(a[ij],i=1..3);  both was not right

I am currently running into an issue where the numerical solution to an equation (involving an integral, yes, but the value I am solving for is simly a constant in the integral) is taking significantly longer than I would hope it would to solve. I am solving a similar equation (with a simpler expression) and it is significantly easier to solve, and I am hoping for that kind of speed.

On the last two lines in the attachment, I have two expressions. The penultimate expression is the baseline speed that I would like to match. The last expression is the fsolve I would like to speed up.

Is there any way to numerically speed up the process? I found that when I did tracelast after halting the process, there were HUGE numbers being added and subtracted, multiplied and divided. Not only did this significantly slow down the proecss but it also adds much numerical instability, which I would also like to avoid.

All help would be appreciated.

how to compute non-reduced hilbert series?

hilbertseries return a simplified version of hilbert series,

how to output non-simplified version of hilbert series?

Hi all,

I google and found a program using C# connect with Maple. The Maple file is mla file - a pakage library type of Maple. I want to review data structure and all interfaces funtions to understand the way to implement this features.

Please help me the way to read the original Maple code. I uploaded the .mla file into mediafire if you want to review it. Link http://www.mediafire.com/download/abd9kpk3q6oq8lb/CHEMISTRY.mla

Why the disparity in the solution of P1 and P2? P1 uses finite difference while P2 uses midrich.

See them here P1.mw     and   P2.mw

I want to put the solution obtained from ShowSolution() command of Student[Calculus1] into my LaTeX file. How I can achieve that?

I succeeded in getting latex of ExpandSteps because it was a module, but ShowSolution() is not a module.

How can one use maple to linearized nonlinear ODE of this type Linearize.mw

with maple.

Best regards.
