  • You have options to open tabs in separate windows or move existing multiple tabs into separate windows. 

    Can we add an option to combine tabs into one window? 

    A colleague recently showed me some strange behavior when trying to plot vertical lines. The following works to create the unit square:

    plot( [x=0,x=1,0,1], x=0..1, y=0..1, color=black, axes=none ); # OK
    
    

    But doubling the size in each direction does not produce a square:

    plot( [x=0,x=2,0,2], x=0..2, y=0..2, color=black, axes=none ); # BAD
    
    

    The vertical lines extend only up to y=1, not y=2 as requested. The next command shows that vertical lines at the boundary are treated differently.

    We are pleased to announce that the winner of the quarterly Maple Mentor Award for Jan.-Mar. 2008 is Jacques Carette, and the recipient of March's monthly award is Prof. Alejandro Jakubi. Jacques and Alejandro will receive prizes of their choice to thank them for their involvement with the MaplePrimes community. Congratulations to our winners!

    How do I change the default font used in Maple 12?  I'm in WinXP.

    As many of you have experienced, the maplet MathMLEditor, has some problem when it comes to interpret correctly the typing functions, even some functions with the help of the palette.

    I was trying to input this function : sin(4*x)+cos(2*x) but after moving form the unknown tag _XML_ error, I end up with misinterpretations of this function, to things like  4*sin(x)+cos(2*x).

    So, the comments in this blog tells that the better solution is to use a TextField to get the input function, but now I face this problem

    f := Get('txtFunction');
     

    Hi, I am just wondering who is currently using Maple in Finance. While I would keen to know any commercial or academic uses, I am especially interested in two areas: 1. Asset valuation and modelling 2. Portfolio analysis including risk, hedging, rebalancing or optimisation 3. High frequency (from 15min to readtime) processing of data (FX, Equity or IR) We recently completed a quite extensive benchmarking of Maple, Mathematica and Matlab using finance and portfolio related problems and would be interested know other experiences here.

    I run Maple on a Wintel machine, specifically a Dell Dimension 9100 Mini-Tower: Pentium D Processor 820 with Dual Core Technology (2.80GHz, 800FSB) Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005.  I also recently acquired an OLPC.  I don't think that the OLPC will be much of a Maple platform in the near future but it does run Linux.

    After fighting with the Maplet Table control, I decided to give it a try to the TextBox, using tabulator spaces, to have some degree of control over the column layout I need to present tablar results.

    The problem I am facing now, is that the "\t" tabulator scape caractar on the textbox has a size to big, in some applications you can set the tab size, in number of caracters or something else, anyone know if this is possible in Maple or on  a Maplet?

    Hi !

    I'm getting the following error when i run my script !!!!

    Error, (in sqrfree) argument must be a polynomial or a rational function in {zB, TBA, yB, d, xB}

    I'm using the sqrt function for my variables but it'S returning this error

    I have been wondering about the reception of an independent patch Library for Maple.

    I'll lay out a few ideas, and then maybe some criticism (or indifference) might follow.

    I'm a bullet-point sort of person:

    • sourceforge project with a few willing experts for vetting and gatekeeping of submissions.
    • Patch .mla Library archive, going into /toolbox/Patch/lib/ so as to get picked up automatically by libname.
    • Self-building, with...

    On his blog, Jaime Zawinski (of Netscape and XEmacs fame) relates a tale of finding limits in the (supposedly) unlimited big number representation on a TI Lisp machine in the early 1990s. It is an amusing story, and it makes me wonder if GnuMP is has a similar limit on a different scale.  Or in other words, is there a positive integer small enough to fit into memory  (assuming 64 bit address space) but that cannot actually be constructed in GnuMP due to limits in the implementation? Does someone here know enough about the GnuMP internals to give the answer?

    I have been thinking about creating a Maple benchmark, to show a performance ranking versus operating system and hardware.

    Is there any interest in such a thing?

    If the results were put in a mapleprimes blog post, then they might be editable, and so could be updated as more items were submitted (messaged or emailed, to me, say).
