I've observed different behaviour in Maple 16 when invoking the plot() command with the coords=polar option.

Here's what Maple 15 produces:

...and here is what I get in Maple 16:

Hi everybody:

was wondering if someone could help me figure out what change took place in Maple 16 so that the expression shown below does no longer work

A:=a->Matrix(2,2,[[a,3*a],[a,4]])

It worked OK until 15

thanks

Hi,

I am trying to plot in Maple 16 (just installed) and I am getting text output. Maple 15 worked just fine.

Anyone have ideas?

Regards.

One of my coworkers brought in G.L. Legendre's book "Pasta By Design" (amazon.ca/dp/0500515808).  It is full of photographs and parametric equations for 92 shapes of pasta.  Of course, we had to set about plotting his equations in Maple.  Orginally I was going to post about this before Maple 16 came out, but I was struck with how much better plots looked in the Maple 16 pre-release and so I decided to wait.   As one example, here are the parametric equations for Giglio Ondulato noodles plotted using the default 3D plot settings in Maple 16 and Maple 15.

I have a differential that I'm solving using rk4 on maple and I want to plot the resaulting points in an interval. How do I do that?

here is what I've already done:

> f := {y(0) = 0, diff(y(x), x) = cos(5*y(x))-x};

> p := dsolve(f, y(x), numeric, method = classical[rk4], stepsize = .1);
proc(x_classical)  ...  end;

> for i from 0 by .1 to 3 do p(i) end do;
