I was just wondering. Has it already been rigorously proven whether or not Planck's constant is transcendental ? A little introductory notes on transcendental numbers would also be appreciated. thanks,

Hello, I would like to use Maple in Statistics, but I have a problem with a speed of base functions, like generation, Mean, Range and Standard deviation. Maple computes slowly than MathCad. I have 4 test functions: Test of generation speed > restart: > > Digits :=10: > > test3:=proc(N,n) > local i,a,X; > use Statistics in > X := RandomVariable(Normal(0,1)): > for i from 1 to N do > a:=Sample(X,n): > end do: > end use; > end proc: > time(test3(30000,100)); Test of Mean speed > restart: > Digits :=10;

Hello all. At the company, we've recently had discussions on the future of printed manuals. Many software companies are moving towards CD-only packaging for many reasons. Today, if you buy the full professional version of Maple, you get all manuals printed. I just wanted to get a sense of your feelings on paper vs. electronic manuals. Thanks. T4.

Hi, I would like to know what is the most efficient way to store data in MAPLE? Matlab users would know that the output data of a code is put in subfile automatically and all you need to do is to save that library of subfiles of arrays, etc. Is it possible to do the same in MAPLE? Maybe it is something very basic but I cannot seem to find an efficient way of doing it... Thanks. Gurs

I would like to see the ability to set the plot box and axes transparency, or even color of those items in some future release of Maple. Thanks, Tim

3 Chemical Engineering laboratories in Thessaloniki (Salonica), Greece, are preparing the 9th Meeting of the Network Young Membrains (NYM) [26-28 September 2007]. The NYM has proved to be a well-established and important conference for young membrane researchers, enjoying a good response and a steadily growing interest every year. More than 700 “young membrains” from different European and occasionally non-European countries have participated in the 8 previous meetings, with more than 80 attendees participating in Rende, Italy, September 2006.

I recently installed maple11 and upgraded from maple10. However, I still have desktop icons for Maple10 and Maple10 classic mode. Does this mean that I now have the choice of using maple 10 or maple 11 on the same machine ? I thought that the automatic upgrade would have completely replaced any previous versions of maple found on one's machine ? Guidance welcomed, v/r,

Hello, Could you guys help me with how to find the minimization equation of an integral parametrically by MAPLE? Thanks Gurs

On the MKM list (Mathematical Knowledge Management), I just read about a very interesting initiative by chemists. A publisher is doing semantic markup of their data. As the poster on the MKM list noted, it is rather sad that it is chemists that are leading here. Mathematicians gave it a half-hearted try (see the mostly defunct OpenMath or the highly-hyped but mostly ignored MathML). But this is probably because semantics of mathematics is so incredibly hard! The efforts in OpenMath and MathML in that direction were really lame, which probably contributed to their uneffectiveness. It is also why the QED Project went nowhere.

Hello: I have abstracted out an issue I am having using dsolve in the context of sqrt functions. Basic Problem: I am attempting to solve a a simple ODE with a piecewise continuous RHS. The RHS has a sqrt function. This simple problem in the form we have gives an error. We make a couple of other attempts to simplify this manually - in its most simplified form it seems to not given any error message. However, even then, the piecewise continuous RHS is not captured properly in the numerical solution. Can somebody help explain/solve the problem? Thanks. (NOTE: PLEASE IGNORE THE FIRST LINE OF THE MAPLE WORKSHEET - I DO NOT SEE IT IN THE MAPLE FILE, BUT IT APPEARS ON THE LINKED SHEET SOMEHOW!)

Official History, as written by the authors [later Maplesoft versions were somewhat embelished]. More interesting still is the full list of releases until Maple 9. Actually, that is missing V release 5.1. Counting 5.1, 9.5, 10 and 11, "Maple 11" really ought to be named Maple 26. How many pieces of (commercial!) software have had 26 releases in their lifetime, and still going strong?

I have been having trouble with the riemanntheta function included ith the algcurves package. I am running Maple 10 on a MacPro under Mac OS X. There are two sorts of trouble: 1. Memory leaks: repeatedly calling the function eventually uses up all of my memory 2. Incorrect results: Maple's values are _sometimes_ incorrect; for example, a large value at a known zero of the function. Anyone else run into this? TIA.

Hello, I need to create a picture in eps format to use it in LaTex Document. I use plotsetup to create it but the output is not worked corretly. In Maple 8 it workes. plotsetup(ps,plotoutput=`plot.ps`,plotoptions=`portrait,noborder`); and then I use some plot command. I am not able to compile the maple output in LaTexPdf. I try to open it in CorelDraw and it is opened, but I am not able to work with it like I am able with Maple 8 output. Why? Is it different format of eps? Could you help me please? How could I create eps file to use in LaTeX? Thank you very much. Vladimir
