In response to a question about collecting symbolic powers of polynomials, I suggested a few lines of code that solved the particular problem. Following is a procedure that enhances the technique to mimic, to some degree, the abilities of Maple's collect procedure, which handles integral powers. This enhanced version can take a list of indeterminates. It also permits use of an optional third argument, func, that is applied to the collected coefficients of a power.

When u mean maple, is it maplestory the game??????????????????????

I'm using Windows XP prof. edt. and Maple 9.5 I installed Maple and it is running properly but there is an important problem with the user-interface of Maple ; For example, scroll bars,check boxes,sliders. . . can not be seen on the interface. Therefore, for instance in the "Options", I can not understand whether a checkbox is checked or not. (The most important part of the problem :( ) I've already installed Java VM (jre1.5.0_06) What should I do ?

For no reason other than curiosity, we have a new poll ...

I used to have Maple 10.02 running on Fedora Core 4. I recently upgraded to Fedora Core 5, and 10.02 no longer runs (no error is given). I can't install Maple 10 off the CD or the downloaded 10.03.

On Wednesday morning (April 5, 2006), at 2 minutes 3 seconds past 1:00 hours (1 AM), the time date sequence will be 01:02:03 04/05/06 (assuming the US convention of M/D/Y). Just thought you'd like to know :-) T4.

Let A be an n by n (0,1)-matrix. How draw the graph of the adjacecy matrix A?

Do you think that it's possible for Maple to ever be free software? I
suppose I should emphasise that this is "free as in freedom",
regardless of whether Maplesoft decides to keep charging money for its
use or not. Me, I don't see it happening in the near future, but I
harbour hope that it could happen for the following reasons:

1) Other success stories of free software, such as the Firefox
browser.

2) Maple, unlike the other leading brand, was built in a purely
academic environment by a community of mathematicians and
scientists who understand the need for free and open collaboration

server: efnet channel: #maple this channel is unaffiliated with maplesoft. It is new at the time of this posting so be patient if there is not much activity at first. I know a bit about maple and may be available to help people with it. If you have never used IRC before it is not difficult. You may want to read about it a little by googleing IRC. if you just want to connect I have posted instructions about connecting to this and other math related channels on IRC at this link: http://web.mac.com/luther_driggers/iWeb/SFUMSU/NEWS/50430B9A-5AAD-48DC-B53B-A5565C352F70.html

When I click the "blogs" tab at the top, I do not get a list of blogs, but only "Bratva's blog" (in Cyrillic). Needs a fix...

Just announced. Performance imnprovements for start-up and equation editor improvements are some of the improvements. Download 10.03 patch here. T4.

MacTutor archive by John O'Conner and Edmund Robertson, is a very thorough database of biographies, chronologies, etc. It convers ancients to contemporary. There is an immense amount of information and you can easily get lost in this site.

M. Mahaswaran's Catalog of Mathematics Resources on the WWW and the Internet ia a very complete list of useful Math links (the most complete I've ever seen).

I'm not quite sure where this should go. I'll post it in MaplePrimes suggestions for now, and move it elsewhere (MapleNet, MapleTA, ...?) if others feel that would be advisable. I have uploaded a Maple 10 worksheet that implements the Hill Substitution Cypher for encoding messages. The worksheet uses embedded components to create what amounts to a Maple syntax-free interface. Here are two views of the worksheet. First, the worksheet 178_HillSubstCipher.mw on MapleNET. And, second, to download 178_HillSubstCipher.mw.
