Hi, I am searching for an exercise in MapleLearn, which I would like to give to my students in the second year of a mathematics degree. The aim is to make them work only with Maple Learn during 15-20 minutes. So the exercise should be rather short. The original idea that I had was to give them the Fibonacci sequence equation to solve : F(n+2)=F(n+1)+F(n). I would like to transform the sequence using a 2x2 matrix, which is classical. Diagonalize the matrix, compute the powers and so on. This is very easy with Maple, but how can I do that with MapleLearn? I could enter the corresponding  2x2 matrix, compute its eigenvalues but that's it. I could not diagonalize it, compute its powers and so on. Maybe someone knows how to do that with MapleLearn? Else I would be happy to discover other exercises with MapleLearn. 

Apart from introducing the software to french universities, the aim is also to make a research experiment (it is an official collaboration with Maplesoft)

I have been using Maple Calculator on my phone and found that the "Steps" to solutions option was useful, particularly for integration. However, I spend more time on my computer than phone and thought that Maple Learn would be even better. When I tried the free version of Maple Learn the "Steps" button never appeared. I thought this might be because it is only available with a subscription, so I have subscribed for one month to evaluate. However, after doing that the "Steps" button still did not appear. After a bit of digging, I found the Steps documentation and found you must open specific documents from the Maple Gallery for different problems to get the Steps button which seems a bit odd when the Maple Calculator does this automatically. Worse still there does not seem to be an option for integration!

Although I can see a lot of benefits with Maple Learn this seems to be a backward step (pardon the pun). Also, even though I have subscribed to Maple Learn, I still do not appear to have Premium on my phone in the same account. Again, a little disappointing.

Have I misunderstood something or is this the way it is?

I would appreciate any recommendation on these games and puzzles with maple implementation. The purpose is to inspire the math interest of children (say 16-) . Benefits from the assistance of Maple:

1. Learn and build the habit of math modelling: eg by playing with this n-queen problem - https://www.maplesoft.com/Applications/Detail.aspx?id=154482

Children can realize that, for many problems, modelling is doable for them - question formation in math/programming and finding all the constraints - while solution method is simply a small step if done by computer. This is already a big step forward for them and they may enjoy the modelling process. For more math-eager kids, they may start to explore the documentation behind the solution methods.

2. Learn the art of automatic proof by witnessing the efficiency gain by themselves - I don't think I have to explain such to the community here. I note Doron Zeilberger has collected many in such a spirit on his website.

I have read some in the Application Center (eg under the tag game) and by searching here by the "puzzle". Is there some more systematic collection/books? The applications I have seen is mostly on logical/combinatorial problems. Love to see the games/puzzles under a broader range of math fields good for children.
