I was looking at symbolically solving a second-order differential equation and it looks like the method=laplace method has a sign error when the coefficients are presented in a certain way.  Below is a picture of some examples with and without method=laplace that should all have the same closed form.  Note that lines (s6) and (s8) have different signs in the exponential than they should have (which is a HUGE problem):

Hello Everyone, 

My questions is about a straight forward as my title suggests. I know how to compute the variation by hand and of course it is in plently of books, but I would like to know how I could possibly do it in Maple as I have some terms with non-trivial contributions where I infact need that specific variation. 

I have attached my file I have been working with that has more comments.

Hello,

I am trying to solve the self similarity problem for external natural convection which is the following coupled problem

•     3/4*F(eta)*Theta(eta)'  = Theta(eta)''
•     1/2 (F(eta)')^2 - 3/4 F(eta)*F(eta)'' = Pr*(Theta(eta) - F(eta)''')

where Pr is a constant and  ()' denotes differentiation with respect to eta. The boundary conditions are:

•     at eta = 0, F = 0, F'=0, Theta = 1
•     at eta -> infinity, F' = 0, Theta = 0

I tried the following but I cannot obtain a solution

Hi MaplePrimes, 

I am interested in obtaining some gravitational field equations from an action using the FunDiff command. I have been able to write what I think is a pretty short and quick worksheet(with an arbitrary metric) and I am easily able to obtain the Einstein Field Equations. However, when I introduce some new more complicated terms into the action and apply the Simplify command maple does not appear to be able to evaluate and I end up halting the computation. When I specify a metric Maple, for example Schwarzschild, Maple will easily be able to Simplify my expression but it will use metric components during the process. Where what I am interested in is just the Tensor expression with respective indices. 

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how I could resolve this. 

I have attached the worksheet that I am working with. I look forward to your thoughts/comments.

Thank you.

I dont know why I could not solve this problem.

Please anyone help me to get solution to this problem.

Thank you so much

Dear All,

I have an executable program which I have generated with Fortran. Is it possible to run such a program from Maple? It sounds a bit weird but that would simplify my computation, since I would not need to use scripts in Linux. Thank you very much.

Cheers.

I remember that once there was an option to provide to maple a given function and it produced a suitable DE that this function solves.

Can you remind me how to do it?

I remember there was such an option in the previous versions of maple.

Thanks in advance!

So I have a problem when copying multiple output from Maple to Word. I am using a simple example here. 

When I copy each part of the output as an image SEPERATELY, it comes out much cleaner than if I highlight everything together and then copy. Is there a reason this is the case and is there a way to fix this problem?

Here is the Maple Code:

with(plottools);
with(plots);
ttt1 := textplot([0, 1, "3  +  5  =  __", color = "black", font = ["Arial", "bold", 120]]);
display(ttt1, size = [1000, 200], axes = none);
ttt1 := textplot([0, 1, "1  +  3  =  __", color = "black", font = ["Arial", "bold", 120]]);
display(ttt1, size = [1000, 200], axes = none);

I also uploaded the Maple Worksheet

Here is the output:

There are TWO imges in the output in this example. I tried copying both together and pasting them, and then I tried copying them individually. The output is very different in quality.

The one copied alot is much cleaner once copied and pasted in Word. Does anyone why this is happening? I don't want to have to copy images individally for obvoius reasons. I know this example is only two images but what if there was alot more, etc.

Thank you

I have done something but what?

I want to use maple notation for input and  output.

I have done something to mess this up.

How do I get rid of the typesetting messages?
