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

When execute the following worksheet to "Export" command, Maple lose connection to kernell.

It's possible to integrate a whole mapleworksheet in MapleTA. I made some fully randomized statistical questions in MapleTA. The calculations will be done in a MapleWorksheet and stored in a list. The MapleTA application only presents the output from this mapleworksheet by reading this list. Please download this questionbank from http://www.maplesoft.com/applications/app_center_view.aspx?AID=2062).

Hello, i'm newbie here and spanish... Someone can help my, i want an procedure/function that you put an matrix and it will give you the rang/rank but not using the function implemented un maple... I'm using MAPLE 10 THX

Open a worksheet in document model, and input the next line in math model plot(x^2,x=-1..1,title="title"); and it will show a plot. Now select "title" in the quotation marks (not include quotation marks), type in "aabb" (not include quotation marks) and press enter, there will be an error. But if you select "title" including quotation marks, and change to "aabb" (including quotation marks), there will no problem.

The following seems like a bug. Now, it could be that Logic is not built to handle such requests, in which case it should die gracefully, instead of giving funny answers.

> Logic[BooleanSimplify]((x > 3) &and ¬ (y > 5) &or (y > 5));

                (5 < y) &or ((3 < x) &and ¬(5 < y))

and yet

> Logic[BooleanSimplify](a &and ¬ b &or b);

                               a &or b

This one asks for something trickier, and more difficult to ask for. If you are not quite sure where to post, then you should put it in the wish list. Here, you should document use cases for Maple (the complete system) which should 'just work', but for some reason doesn't. What is a use case? It is a description of a task that needs to be done, which should be a straightforward application of Maple. It belongs here if it turns out that it is not straightforward (or worse). The bulk of the posts should be about those task descriptions. Suggested solutions should, in most cases, be omitted. This is where we should put our trust in the developers to come up with a good way to solve the problem, rather than to try to micro-manage.
