I am pretty new to pdsolve.

?pdsolve/numeric states

PDEsys - single or set or list of time-dependent partial differential equations in two independent variables

This could be interpreted in a way that problems with 3 independent variables can be handled (time + two others).

The rest of the helppage only describes two independent variables and does not mention time.

In case the above interpretation is wrong, I have two questions:

• If only two independent variables can be treated, why is time-depencency mentioned at all?
• Is it possible to integrate the PDE of an axially heated rod of finite length and radius with the help of pdsolve where on one end of the rod a heat flux q=q(r) is applied?

Any links to similar problems solved with Maple (not necessary with pdsolve) are very much appreciated.

This is about avoiding that automatic simplifcation removes a factor of "1" before a unit.

Example output with removed factors:

Readers of technical notes not familar with Maple interprete the above missing values before units as layout errors.
Also reading it (e.g. with a screen reader) sounds strange: "m_l equals kg" or "m_1 of kg".  As a work around a float one (i.e.: 1.) can be used, which in some instances does not look as nice as

To improve the above I thought of an inert "1" or an inert multiplication that could be removed by the value command in subsequent calculations (not necessarily visible in a document to the reader when the input is hidden).
I could not find a way for an inert "1". With inert multiplication using %* a grey asterix is printed

Can we make the grey multiplication symbol invisble?

Maple 2026 print layout

PDF created with print -> Adobe pdf printer -> save to file

Is that related to the attached worksheet or my installation?
If that is not reproducible on other installations, can I someone provide a file that prints correctly to test my installation?

Anything I can do about the mixed up fonts?

Other question: Where is the pagesetup in Maple 2026? Maple shows in the printlayout a pagebreak at about 80% of the displayed page. AI could not tell me

(edit) where the page setup is to adjust the page size.

In 2-D Math input:
In a product of more than two factors space is not allways sufficient to delimite factors when one of the factors is of type numeric.

Just for my interest: Is there a reason or a rule for that?

Has anybody seen something like that? I do not use Maple 2026 very often.

Does this vanish when the document is executed on another machine?

Update:

• expanding the document block by "show command" makes the equation labels disappear.
• copying the input to another document block seems to fix the problem
