Is the MaplePrimes server clock off by about fifteen minutes?  The posted times differ by about that from what I expect.

In the command-line or Classic worksheet interfaces of Maple, after entering

?pointplot

only the help page for Statistics[PointPlot] is shown.

This is strange, since plots[pointplot] gives an exact match for the lower case name entered while Statistics[PointPlot] does not. In Maple 10.06, that same help query showed the plots[pointplot] page.

In the Standard worksheet interface that same command brings up the Statistics[PointPlot] page. But a...

Not only it would be desirable, but it is already implemented elsewhere as in Cadabra [quoted from its site]:

Cadabra is a computer algebra system (CAS) designed specifically for the solution of problems encountered in field theory.

Key features of Cadabra:

IfI declare a function or expression before any "assume" statement, then the variables used in the expression do not have any trailing tildes "~". When an assume statement comes after this, there is some sense in which the variable name is changed (as indicated by the "about" statement), but there is also some sense in which the variable name is not changed, as it is still possible to use "subs" with the original variable name:

I find the General tab of the Options dialog in Maple 11 has a section for the Mathematical Engine.  The user is given the choice of a new engine for each document or to share one engine among all documents.  I am running a Intel Core 2 Duo so I presume that I should enable SMP support.  But, I don't know what factors to consider when deciding on the use of shared or multiple engines.

Are there specific tradeoffs to consider?  Does the use of a shared engines save memory or increase performance?

Header Footer are a welcome addition, BUT
1. It's not obvious how to get a different header | footer on the first page, a fundamental option.
2. The &(Date) is not picking up my system date format!!
3. I placed this in the righthand box "MyName ~ &[Page] of &[Pages]", but it does not show up in the preview.
4. There is no option to change the font style or size in the header|footer, a fundamental requirement.

No hotkey for common functions such as pi, sqrt, text alignment. These would speed data entry.

I run Maple11 on a Kubuntu Hardy Heron system that uses CUPS printing and printing generally works, even for Gnome apps.

I Googled and found that others had the same problem with Maple11 and there was a reference to this:

http://www.cups.org/articles.php?L433+I0+TFAQ+P1+Q

I followed the advice to make a /etc/cups/client.conf file and add the line ServerName=localhost to that file and to also export the environment variable

CUPS_SERVER=localhost

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to add the capability of computing the Bivariate Meijer G

function which is defined by means of a two-fold contour integral in the complex plane [1].

This is a very interesting possibility, indeed, because, as it is well known, the integral of

the product of three Meijer G functions  can be expressed in closed form by means of the bivariate

Meijer G function. Many useful integrals can be computed in this way. For the time being, I am a

While I see the marketing broschures I would appreciate infos on a more technical user level
(and I am not so much interested in the Standard interface, I mean the application level).

Is it possible to say more towards that (without looking through massive download videos)?

Some links to illustrative worksheets?

Always missed such for new releases ...

We are pleased to announce that Maple 12 is now available.  It has some very cool new features - my personal favorites include the addition of polar plots, nifty new dials and gauges, a start-up code region, and the ability to use colour in table cells.  Check out our website to find out what’s new, to watch Maple 12 movies in the new , for full details on upgrade specials and more.

Some time ago I was asked the question: do you know how to do a change of variables in a multi-dimensional definite integral?  I thought I knew, but I was wrong.  I only know how to do a change of variable in a multi-dimensional indefinite integral. 

This question really intrigued me.  Of course, this is such an obvious question, I just started pulling out textbook after textbook off my bookshelf, expecting to find the answer...

Maple includes a useful StringTools:-Entropy procedure which computes the Shannon Entropy, or Information Entropy of a string.  Wikipedia has a nice article describing the measure online at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_entropy.  I wanted to compute this value over a Matrix so I wrote the following procedure.  Let me know if you have any comments or improvements on the implementation.

Maple Help (9.5) lists 15 coordinate systems, but provides no information on any of them.  I am of course familiar with the Cartesian and polar systems, so no additional information is required.  But I would like definitions for the other 13, e.g.,  Cassinian.

Because of John's answer to my last comment about a Maple wiki, I have searched first for antecedents in Maple Primes. From the many posts found in this search, I put together here what I consider the main points stated so far.
