As many of you know now the MRB constant = sum((-1)^n*(n^(1/n)-1),n=1..infinity).

Here are some equations involving various forms of that summation.

The first one involves convergent series and is too obvious. The others involve divergent series.

The last two, however, are new!

Let c=MRB constant and a, c~, x, and y = any number.

sum((-1)^n*(c~*n^(1/n)-c~),n=1..infinity)= c*c~.

evalf(sum((-1)^n*(n^(1/n)-a),n=1..infinity)) gives c-1/2*(1-a).

evalf(sum((-1)^n*(x*n^(1/n)+y*n),n=1..infinity)) gives (c-1/2)*x-1/4*y.

And it appears that

evalf(sum((-1)^n*(x*n^(1/n)-a),n=1..infinity)) gives (c - 1/2)*x + 1/2*a.

Dear friends,

I was working on the integral of cosh(ax)/cosh(x) from zero to infinity with "a" being a rational number p/q where p<q and p-q being odd. I was quite shocked to discover that Maple 15 (X86 64 LINUX)cannot do this integral while Mathematica gets it right every time. I certainly hope this will be rectified soon.

For those who might be interested the calculation of the integral

The Maple IDE project team is pleased to announce the release of the standalone version of the Maple programming toolkit. Now Maple IDE is available for Windows, Unix and Mac OS as standalone tool.

For the information about new versions, please see Maple IDE page.

For the complete installation instructions see the following video:

Just happen to come accross this wikiVS page of Maple vs Mathematica.

I find it heavily biased towards Mathematica. 

A lot of spam coming in is from the same users.  It seems automated.  These are some repeating offenders

We have just released Teaching Calculus with Maple: A Complete Kit.  Leveraging both Maple and Maple T.A., Teaching Calculus with Maple includes lecture notes, student worksheets, Maple demonstrations, Maple T.A. homework, and more – everything you need to teach Calculus 1 and Calculus 2.  Teaching Calculus with Maple  was developed at the University of Guelph under the leadership of an award-winning teacher and field-tested in classes with hundreds of students.

As usual I am going to use this blog post to complain!
How can anyone in their right state of mind create a Finance Package
with out procedures for return calulation ie first difference, percentage change, log returns etc

The version 16 of Maple does not know the function "pow", it is replaced by "power". Nevertheless, the codegen[optimize] procedure still generates it!  Moreower, it's not optimal even to write poser(..., 1/2)  as, most probably, the function sqrt must run faster. 

  Here's an example: (the function being optimized just contains some nested square roots)

> iang10 := [codegen[optimize](Re(int11), tryhard)];
[       2        t17                                   

I want to Play with math full-time.  I posted a help me do it page on my website at marvinrayburns.com under the link titled "Help!" Any ideas on how I can gel it to go viral and maybe get some support from it?

We have just released a free collection of Maple and MapleSim classroom materials that helps bring modern technology to any introductory course in control design. This collection includes interactive classroom demonstrations that illustrate key concepts; lab projects and assignment questions; and example models ready to be explored.  It’s been designed primarily for instructors, but students should find much of it useful, too.

Hello. It World be greate if you could ad a maple file viewer to the Maple Player for the IPad and similar products. It is a greate tool when you are on the move and do not have you pc with you to do the calculations on. I use Maple a lot at my studies at the university of southern denmark, at when I talk to my study mates about a problem, it would be greate to be able to open maple files from you pc on the ipad. I save my documents to my Dropbox, so I always have then nearby....

Dear Maple users

I have had Maple creating graphics for me that I cannot do in other programs I have access to: 3D pictures of circle waves interferring or even the result of an interference pattern from a diffraction grating in Physics. But when it comes to simple animations, I am not all that impressed.

Basicly I have three complaints: 

a)  Maple seems to use a lot of space to save frame information, resulting in large filesizes.

All that looks like what many may have expected to be provided by Maple.

But personally I do not need advertising towards that every second day.
Not really.
