Hello

I will try to be as specific as possible.

On my Ti nspire it is possible for me to calculate polar equations like on the buttom picture with the settings on the upper picture. But when I try this in Maple It is not possible. I have worked my way try for two days now and it does not work for me.

Does any body know how to get this solved? 

Regards

Heide

An update to Maple 2016 is now available. Maple 2016.1 provides:

• Updated translations for Simplified and Traditional Chinese,  French, Greek, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish
• Updates to the new Maple Workbook
• Enhancements to Maple’s context-sensitive menus
• A variety of improvements to the math engine and interface

To get this update, use Tools>Check for Updates from within Maple, or visit the Maple 2016.1 downloads page.

New color schemes for plotting have been added to Maple 2016. They are summarized here. You can also see more details on the plot/colorscheme help pages, which have been reworked (hopefully in a way that makes them more useful to you).

We released a new video a few weeks ago describing one of these features: coloring by value. The worksheet I used for the video is available here: ColorByValueWebinar.mw

Suppose that I have a plot:

plot(sin((1/180)*Pi*x), x = -180 .. 180)

I want to add a degree symbol after the tickmarks on the x-axis.  One approach which seem promising is to add a plot option for the x-axis:

axis[1] = [tickmarks = [90 = typeset("90", degree)]]

where "degree" is replaced by a code for the degree symbol. Maple is helpful here because I can point and click using the Common Symbols palette and insert a degree symbol. However this does not work delivering an error "Error, invalid neutral operator". This error is undocumented. 

I can insert a Pi or an infinity symbol. If I want to I can put a degree sysmbol into ther title, but apparently not on the axes.

I should be able to use F3 to break into a multline nested loop and insert a new line of code, and then F4 to close it up again before execution.  The F4 works for closing things up.  But the F3 does NOT work.  Is this a known problem?  Is there another way to do it short of a lot of cutting and pasting?

I just bought 2016 Maple. For a few days, everything was fine.

The increase of the speed calculations is very significant.

Then copy and paste gave unexpected results: impossible to keep the symbols, systematic conversion in text,in mode MathML,, appearance of ASCII characters in the texts, etc ..

all attempts to change the settings have failed

I spend more time correcting the changes that occur in the copy and paste that to take care of my equations.

Do you have an explanation ?

Hello everyone!

Is this a bug that the following two commands work differently?:

densityplot(sin(x*y), x = -5 .. 5, y = -5 .. 5, colorscheme = ["zgradient", ["blue", "green", "yellow", "red"], zrange = -5 .. 5], style = surface)

plot3d(sin(x*y), x = -5 .. 5, y = -5 .. 5, view = -10 .. 10, colorscheme = ["zgradient", ["blue", "green", "yellow", "red"], zrange = -5 .. 5], style = surface)

The second one works fine in that if you increase the magnitude of sin(x*y) (e.g. 3sin(x*y)) the coloring changes accordingly. But the first one plots sin(x*y) or 5sin(x*y), etc. just the same!

Many thanks for you comments in advance!

Is it possible to view maple workbook content in older versions?

I have tried to perform the examples given in the help section for DataSet retrival.  I cannot get Maple 2016 to access the internet available databases.  It does not return any outside of PC resources, like Maple 2015 did, on search items. Is there a setup item that I am missing or is there something amiss in Maple 2016.

This is the Error that I am getting: "Error, (in DataSets:-Search) invalid input: find_count expects its 1st argument, lst, to be of type list(nonnegint), but received [FAIL["total_count"], 0]. "

I was able to run this example in Maple 2105.  The example is the "Average Global Temperature"

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to start using maple workbook to manage my projects but i can't figure out the paths. suppose i have a workbook named: WorkBookTest.maple

and inside this i have a folder containing Data in which i have an excel workbook DataTest.xlsx

and also i have a folder containing Documents in which i have a maple worksheet Document.mw

and also i have a folder containing Code in which i have a mathematica notebook Code.nb

Now inside the maple worksheet, to import the excel data i use the command: Import("this:///Data/DataTest.xlsx")

and it works

Now inside the mathematica workbook, to import the excel data i use the command: Import["this:///Data//DataTest.xlsx"]

and it fails

so if i have other program like mathematica notebook inside maple workbook that wants to call a file with data, how should i define the path?

In working on an answer to a recent question on MaplePrimes:
http://mapleprimes.com/questions/210948-Can-We-Trust-Maple

I noticed that in solving a "simple" system of two equations in two unknowns, potentially undesirable expansion occurs.
The two equations were only simple in the sense that the solving was very trivial, since the two unknowns occurred (almost) already isolated on the left:
eq1:=diff(x(t),t)=rhs1;
eq2:=1.2345*diff(v(t),t)=rhs2; #rhs2 is very complicated in the link given.
So in isolating I tried:
solve({eq1,eq2},{diff(x(t),t),diff(v(t),t)});
The resulting ode system took considerably longer to solve numerically than an unexpanded version.
It is trivial (of course) to do the solving without solve in this case.

Here is an extremely simple example, where the unknowns are already isolated, so that the equations themselves are actually the solution.

restart;
eq1:=a=b*(c+d);
solve(eq1,a); #No expansion
eq2:=e=b*(c+d)+f*(8+k);
solve({eq1,eq2},{a,e}); #Expanded:
                   {a = b*c+b*d, e = b*c+b*d+f*k+8*f}

Can expansion be avoided?

Hello there,

I want to simplify this for a given rule in Maple

(-(1/2)*ib-(1/2)*ia+ic)*vc+(-(1/2)*ia-(1/2)*ic+ib)*vb+(-(1/2)*ic-(1/2)*ib+ia)*va

rule :  ia+ib+ic=0

A desired result should be 

3/2*ic*vc+3/2*ib*vb+3/2*ia*va 

but I can't apply this rule in Maple...  it seems like recursive and goes back again and again.

Can it break the recursive routine and make it as a desired result?

 Thank you

Hey guys,

I want to fit experimental data and I was wondering if there is a special PolynomialFit function for a surface.

My data consist of a X,Y, Matrix of densities and I want to have a function describing the surface of the values. On matlab the following code will do so:

[x, y, z] = prepareSurfaceData(temps, concs, densities);
ft = fittype('poly33');
fitresult = fit([x, y], z, ft);

Maybe that gives you a better view of what I want.

Best regards

Before version 2016 Maple was incredibly good at evaluating an infinite power series and returning a simple function, e.g. 1/(3x+2).  Now version 2016 just returns the input sum expression with no change.  Is there some new command to get the old results?

I have a column matrix with all the elements 1.

A:=Matrix(100, 1, 1):

I want to generate another matrix B exactly same as A but with one element changed and keeping all other elements to be same. Manually, I could do by following way:

A[1,1]:=1.1;
A;
B:=A;

But I have to do this with each of 100 elements of A. For instance, in step 1 I want only the first element changed into 1.1. In step 2 I want only the second element changed keeping all others to be 1, and go upto 100.

Could anyone give me an easy way to do this? I would like to appreciate your help in advance.
