Sometimes when I reply to a forum posting, or look at some forum topics, the text box that would contain the body of the posting is misaligned from above formatting options, e.g. "I, B, spellcheck etc". It's pushed more to the right side of the screen, even after I scroll completely to the right. Thanks, Dan

Does anyone know how one would go about creating their own package ? thanks, Dan

A couple of years ago I did the following work on Trigonometric integration. Does anyone have any improvements to add to it? I would like to see it expanded to all complex numbers. I'll soon be working on it again. Download 565_Pre_exp[1].doc

Maple, Mathematica, and many other CAS define indefinite integral up to piecewise constants. That means, in particular, that the integral of a continuous function can be discontinuous. In many cases that can be easily fixed, such as for integrals involving floor(x) and frac(x). However, it has not been done neither in Maple nor in Mathematica. Here is another example, suggested by David W. Cantrell

int(1/(2+cos(x)),x);

               2/3*3^(1/2)*arctan(1/3*tan(1/2*x)*3^(1/2))

My Maple 10 software won't load on my computer. When i try to open it, the splash screen shows and stays for about a minute and then closes without opening maple at all. No error messages or anything, but maplew.exe shows in my windows task manager processes list. I'm running windows XP media center edition, core2duo 2.16, 2GB 667 ram, 100gig 7200. I'd appreciate any help i can get, thanks for your replies.

Since Tom is travelling the world, I figured this would be an appropriate topic. Please vote in the new poll, how many countries have you visited?

I am currently in Kuala Lumpur teaching a Maple course and I'm showing the participants MaplePrimes ... say hi to our Malaysian friends. Salam! T4 from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia!

This page contains a great collection of different Maplets. Many users will be intersted in the Sudoku maplet. There are also some other interesting tools and games there. http://maplenet.msc.uky.edu/maplets/

The site's search often doesn't produce any results even in the cases where Google search gives links to this site on the first two pages. Example - eludom. If that can't be improved, can at least a Google site search (i.e. with site:www.mapleprimes.com) be added as an alternative search option? Alec

First of all there is a problem with the way it saves the fonts. They don't work in all applications. Seccond, the major bug: This is when working with 3D graphs. Maple 10 saves the curves in a graph as a bunch of small lines. The problem is that each of these lines are saved several times, one after the other. Usually there will be 8 identical copies of each line saves, some going the opposite direction, but still the same line. Sometimes it will also consist of lines with no length at the endpoints. This way it can sometimes save a hundred (100) objects, for just one line, where each object is either just the exact same line, or a line with no length at one of the endpoints.

Lambda the Ultimate is a community site for programming languages. The name comes from The Original 'Lambda Papers' by Guy Steele and Gerald Sussman. Yep, that Guy Steele, co-creator of Scheme, then Java, now working on Fortress. Fortress is intended to be a disruptive technology (like Java was), and is squarely aiming at markets that are currently served by Fortran and Matlab.

My daily routine involves a look at what's new in academic Math via the ArXiv (through the convenient Front interface at UC-Davis), and in academic CS via the lesser-known Computing Research Repository. Actually, I use the nice feature both have to have an email (with links) sent to me every weekday with new posts in my areas of interest.

I have a question about this site. Does Mapleprimes keep your postings at the different forums indefinitely ? I would like to have all my collected postings, blogs, etc stored somewhere for possible future reference. Can I rely on mapleprimes to have all my postings collected as part of my records ? Should I start manually collecting all the information I want on my own ? thanks, Dan

And Google strikes again. They now have a Curriculum search that is just perfect for hunting down Maple-related resources. Looks like it needs a littel fine-tuning, but it definitely shows promise!
