Well, it’s been more than 17 years since First Leaves: A Tutorial Introduction to Maple V was first published as a hardcover book, and since that time, Maple, the Maple documentation, and the world have undergone huge changes.   We are now in a state where all our documentation is available electronically, including both in-product and online; where the vast majority of our customers receive our products electronically and never even see the printed...

Although unfinished, this project I had left idle for a while and just thought to share with the community.  Not fancy by any means, no graphs or anything, was just having fun creating a worksheet on mortgages but then ran out of free time to work on things as usual, anywyas.  I skipped the derivation for the formula after n payments at the end and just provided the formula and dove right into an example.  For interest, my applications usually have numbers after...

Dear friends, I recently answered a query concerning the action of the automorphism group of the Petersen graph on its edges at math.stackexchange.com. The algorithm that I present is quite naive, but it does produce the desired result. I thought I would share it here because it makes a nice Maple programming exercise e.g. for a talented student at high school level. (I have always thought that Polya counting and permutation groups belong into the high school curriculum.) It makes extensive use of Maple's internal hash function for compound objects to efficiently compare them during the computation. It is quite interesting to observe how Maple does work hard for several minutes to do this computation and then comes up with the correct answer. (Obviously the core computation needs to be done only once.) Enjoy!

Best regards, Marko Riedel

If you come up with a better algorithm then please do share it at the stackexchange link.

Important update Mar 24 2016. The algorithm at the above post is middling to say the least, but can perhaps serve as an example of Maple computational techniques. There is an efficient algorithm including Maple code here at math.stackexchange.com.

Maple T.A. 9 is here!

The new release includes a large selection of useful new features and enhancements, including:

- Content. Maple T.A. 9 includes an easy mechanism to share questions with the community and access questions created by others, through the Maple T.A. Cloud. The Maple T.A. Cloud already contains thousands of questions that you can use and modify.

- Adaptive Testing. Expanding on the adaptive question...

Dear friends,

I have recently been calculating a sum from this link.

The problem here is to calculate the sum sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/(n^2+a) with a some positive real number. You probably all agree that it is preferable to express it using elementary functions from basic calculus as opposed to the Gamma, Zeta and Digamma...

The latest version of the Iterator package is now available at the Maplesoft Application Center.  It provides a new export, MultiPartition, extensions to existing exports, and options to most exports for transforming the output to a more desirable form. The help pages have been improved, with some hopefully interesting examples.  Here is one, showing how it can be used to write a procedure for solving a generalized ...

I just posted and then clicked 'logout' (upper right on the page).

After going back I recognize I am still logged in. Strange. Does
the page not clear the data (= cookies?) for that demand?

restart;
a:= 2.75:  b:= 7.:  N:= 2^4:
X:= t-> add(sin(b^k*t)/a^k, k= 0..N):
Y:= t-> add(cos(b^k*t)/a^k, k= 0..N):
plot(
   [X, Y, 0..2*Pi], numpoints= 2^12

In ?ChiSquareIndependenceTest a contingency table is needed for input.
To construct such a table from raw data is not trivial. I suggest to include this in the statistics package.
A first try:

Crosstab := proc(A,i,j,first::evaln,second::evaln)
  

J:=Int((3*v^2+4*v+2)*(-(3*v^2+2*v+1)/(3*v^2+8*v+4))^(1/2)/(1+2*v)^2,
      v = -2 .. -2/3) 

Then J = -8/3*EllipticK(1/3) + 8/3*EllipticPi(-1/3,1/3) + 3*EllipticE(1/3)


That integral caught my attention through a private discussion. Both MMA and Maple
only succeded up to a limit in the lower boundary, which could not be determined.

Re-writing the integrand as A/(polynomial of degree 4) using the command 'rationalize'

Reposting an old piece of code, but with two corrections.

Maple has  combinat [composition] (n, m)  command, which returns all possible lists of positive integers of  m  terms, the sum of which in each list is n. But there is no similar command for multiplication.

Wrote recently procedure  Factoring, which solves this problem. Formal arguments:  n> 1 - an integer, m - an optional parameter...
