  • RSA Algorithm Worksheet and Video Tutorial

    Hi! The following worksheet illustrates how you can use determinants in a variety of geometric applications. The worksheet outlines how you can determine the area of a triangle or a parallelogram, and the volume of a tetrahedron or parallelepiped using a determinant containing the coordinates of vertices. The worksheet also shows you how to obtain the equation of a plane through three points, and to determine if three points are collinear, or four poin

    Hi there! The following worksheet contains 3 examples that show you how to solve a linear system. The 3 examples outline linear systems that have solution sets containing 1 point, infinitely many points, or no points. Given a set of equations, the worksheet demonstrates how Maple can be used to convert these equations into a matrix, how to row-reduce the matrix, and how to determine the solution of the system. Then using Maple's Linear System Plot Tuto

    A prolonged winter is one of the challenges of living where I do. But each year, we also get the pleasure of experiencing the very first spring day and that’s a special feeling that I would not trade for all the tropical weather in the world. For me, spring in my town is not defined by the temperature or amount of sunshine. It’s defined, oddly enough, by robots … the third week in March is typically the week of the FIRST Robotics Waterloo Regional Tournament. FIRST stands for “For Inspiration and Reward of Science and Technology”. It is an international team sport where high-schools from around the world compete in complex robotic games with full sized remote controlled and autonomous robots on the playing field about the size of half a basketball court.

    I am using the Physics package of Maple 12 to do some research. The main objects I am using are spacetime tensors. However it seems the Simplify command need to be improved. Here are some limitations of this command:

    I am trying to manipulate some equations of motion in block matrix form. My first attempt is with the old linalg package because I don't want the submatrices to expand until I am ready However, linalg is not working as I expected. In particular, the formation of EoM1 in the eample below does not lead the &* operator propagating into a block matrix multiplication. If there is a better way to do this with the Linear Algebra package, I would sure like to see an example. Failing that, what am I doing wrong in the linalg example?

    Maplesoft has launched our brand new Application Center.  Aside from updating the overall look of the Application Center, several new features have been added, such as the ability to post comments on apps.  When you have a minute, head on over and take a look for yourself!

    As I was preparing for an upcoming presentation, I stumbled on a graphic that I always thought was one of the best ones in my endless collection of Powerpoint slides. This particular graphic portrays the evolution of engineering modeling software and I always thought it was an incredibly impactful and clear view on a very complex topic. Unfortunately, I really can’t take any credit for it. The basic concept was created by Mr. Alex Ohata of Toyota. I remember the first time I saw it at a conference.  It really was one of those light-bulb moments where the Universe unfolded as it should … and now I pay due homage to this work of scientific art.

    In the media today, there continues to be much discussion about how students in North America are moving away from the math, science, and engineering disciplines. It is an established fact that countries such as China, South Korea, and Taiwan graduate a much higher number of engineering students than those in North America. This is a cause for great concern in today’s highly complex world, and schools are attempting to solve the problem with math in a variety of ways, with varying success rates.

    Hello there...

    I have a very simple linear optimization problem (cca 20 variables, 10 binary integers, 40 constraints), which I know runs just fine (and fast) on several machines with Maple 11 or 12 installed. However, none of my three computers with Maple 12 can handle it: Maple always crashes during LPSolve execution.

    Suppose I made a 3D geometric diagram in Maple. I want to put it on a web page, so that anyone browsing there can see it and rotate it... Like this one.... http://www.javaview.de/demo/PaViewModels.html Does JavaViewLib work with Maple 12? The latest mention seems to be Maple 10 in 2007... Alternatively, what other ways are there to do this?
    I have encountered an error with plots:-pointplot. > plt:=plots:-pointplot([ [1,1],[2,2] ],color=[COLOR(HSV,1,1,1), COLOR(HSV,1/2,1,1)],style=point,symbol=solidcircle,symbolsize=15); plt := PLOT(POINTS([1., 1.], [2., 2.]), STYLE(POINT), SYMBOL(_SOLIDCIRCLE, 15),COLOR(RGB, Array(1..6, [...], datatype = float[8]))) As you see the input list is using the HSV scheme but in the output it has been switched to RGB. This of course is reflected in the actual plots.

    The third edition of Getting Started with Maple was released by John Wiley & Sons in March 2009.

    Hi all,

    I am new to this forum and to Maple, I would appreciate some help. As you can read from this post

    http://www.mapleprimes.com/forum/integralslongsumsandkernelconnectionlost

    I am trying to evaluate an integral of a long sums of functions. In that post (still unanswered) I report a kernel connection lost. I have now raised the datalimit to my physical limit, so that the "kernel connection lost" error has disappeared (for now). The real problem is that I need to increase the order of my Fourier Series up to eight terms or more.

    Questions:

    Recently this site became very slow. It takes a few minutes to get a page after clicking on a link. Search is very slow as well. Sometimes I couldn't get the resulting page at all - for example, searching for "digits".
