Perhaps we should ask Pagan?  I recall someone mentioning he has switched over.  @nm yes it would interesting to have former Maple users opinions here, maybe someone here should start a thread in the Mathematica forum why they chose Mathemematica or switched over. 

Actually before I had purchased Maple, I was awed by the graphical adds that Mathematica put in various science magazines, Scientific American, popsci and popmech to name a few.  I vaguely recall seeing maybe 1 small add for Maple in SciAm but Mathematica's full page marketing adds really grabbed my attention. However at the time the price put it out of reach for me.  Later reaching university and going to the university computer store in search of Mathematica (being at Waterloo and the home of Maple, of course Mathematica would be no where to be found, obviously Maple was the campus wide choice) but finding Maple Vr3 for only $125 at the time was a deal - but at the time my decision was more set on mathematica.  The price made the choice for me back then, and I grew to enjoy Maple. 

The only problem I've had and still have in FF is the remember login for future visits doesn't work.  Just a minor annoyance at this point.  The good thing about having to always log in is it keeps me from forgetting my password.

The speed up is noticeable and a welcome improvement.

Works fine for me in FF.

I am.  So many sequences.  I wonder why so many?

At one point in time Maple users had only one location to share their ideas and applications and that was at MUG (the Maple Users Group).  The next transformation was the addition of an application center which had an explosion of applications for versions 5 and 6.  At a similar time mapleprimes was introduced where the occasional application was shared and sometimes but not always mirrored in the application center.  Following that came the Maple cloud where users worksheets could be searched and reviewed by fellow Maple colleagues. 

Now it is interesting to see the explosion of apps for the mobius app challenge, akin to the Maple V days in the app center.  The only difference?  Maple is more powerful, has more users and the added bonus of winning something for your efforts.

a:=seq(value(Limit((Sum((n-k)/(k+1),k=0..n-1)-ln(n!))/n,n=i)),i=1.0..60.)

It is interesting that IsWeekend is not a command.  However it is simple enough to create one.

IsWeekend := proc (date)
  is(StringTools:-ParseTime("%Y-%m-%d", date)[weekDay] = 7 or StringTools:-ParseTime("%Y-%m-%d", date)[weekDay] = 1)
end proc:

@ANANDMUNAGALA It should be fairly easy to add holidays in India.  The holidays look like static dates. Basically just use the lines in the proc for Christmas or Boxing Day and just modify the date values.  The holidays in India look simple as they just land on the actual day. 

The difficulty with some of the other holidays in Canada was that they didn't fall on the exact date but rather the 1st 2nd or 3rd Monday of the month and it was just a matter of figuring out how I was going to get Maple to figure that out. 

Adding other countries holidays would balloon my proc and I don't have the spare time to finish such a project.  I've given you the tools to figure it out for India so I leave that exercise for you. 

In newer versions of Maple a proc should be much simpler with the Finance package.  Although Maple doesn't contain the Bombay stock exchange it contains quite a few others.  The IsHoliday command in a loop over the year should fish out the holidays. 

There is no attached worksheet so I have lost interest.

Do you want maple to discover it?

The following terms are the multiplication and addition of the previous two before it.

@Carl Love I suppose it shouldn't be too hard to create a proc that when run, updates, or adds to the scientific constants package. 

Visualization and examples are key.  I think illustrations drive the concept home, although with some physics problems not all concepts can be visualized.

With regards to information at your fingertips ie/ 3 volume Feynman lectures on Physics and courses by Landau and Lifshitz, I would actually be VERY impressed if this information was included in a future Maple release.  I would be delighted if it was and it would certainly be a first if the Feynman lectures and the Landau and Lifshitz course were included in Maple.

okay assume is the key, great.  did not get error to deduce using assume but i would not think it necessary.  does maple seventeen ..can not use alpha numeric characters here on mapleprimes it does not accept the alt key on my mobile.. does maple seventeen still require assume
