The former Maple UI displayed shortcut-keys in the menu entries. There was no need to consult the help system and good overview of possible menu control alternatives was provided.

In the new ribbon interface, such hints are not given anymore (if I am not mistaken).

Suggestion:
The information of shortcut keys could be added after the mouse-over text. For example Crtl+O after "Open a file"

 

For me, attaching the shortcut-key to the corresponding menu item is the most intuitive way to look up this information. Adding text is probably less invasive then graphical design changes, hence this pragmatic suggestion.

Alternatively, AI could provide the information but simple prompts (like "shortcut to open a file in Maple" or "list all keyboard shortcuts for Maple under Windows") did not work for me. A waist of time, credits and energy for nothing. Somehow it is difficult for to todays AIs to identify that there is a help page (not easy to find for beginners and me in Maples help system, IMO) that contains all information needed:
?worksheet,reference,hotwin

On my installations I can neither convert nor copy/paste code with comments from 2D-Math to 1D without loosing the comments.
Also pasting to Word removes the comments.

Is that a known behaviour? Any workarounds?

In the same sheet (Engineering Notation)

you can have: 

and

and even correct formating ... 

but there is no possibility to correct anything, it just ignores the settings ... unfortunately, I am pushed to use an older version ...

Hope this will change.

Dear MapleSoft Team,

I am writing to share some feedback regarding a new feature introduced in Maple 2025. Specifically, when typing ^, /, or __ followed by a number or symbol and then entering another operator (such as +), the operator is automatically inserted on the baseline.

While I understand this "smart baseline behavior" may be useful for some users, I personally find it disruptive and counterproductive. It often interferes with my workflow rather than improving it.

May I suggest adding an option that allows users to choose whether to enable or disable this feature? Providing such flexibility would accommodate both those who appreciate the behavior and those who prefer the previous input style.

Thank you for considering this feedback. I hope this suggestion can help improve the user experience for a wider range of Maple users.

I need to add a library path name to get an old style package .lib to run. Currently a have to manually add the path. How do I solve this?
Also should the package be convverted to .mla type?  What is the difference?

Edit;- I am using windows 10

Hello,

Under Windows 11 Pro the GUI of Maple 2026.1 stuck Maple totally.

I can't even open a new document.

In Maple 2026.0 everything was ok...

This .1 release is unusable on my computer. I didn't dare to ask until today.

Open windows task manager I see that OpenJDK platform binary is the culprit.

Then.. I do NOT know what to do.

If someone has an idea I will be very happy.

Thanks and best,

Jean-Michel

I could not figure out why Maple does not return tanh. Instead a complex valued function for real arguments is returned. This is not recent. I tried down to Maple 2020.  Is that correct?

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing what appears to be a problem with Numeric Formatting in Maple 2026.

I have a worksheet where I calculate a numerical value using evalf, for example:

evalf(1 - (3.7*90)/(10.4*3600))

which returns

0.4663461539

When I select the output and use the Context Panel → Numeric Format, for example:

• Percent
• 2 decimal places

the preview in the math container changes accordingly (e.g. showing something like 0.45), but the actual numerical output below still displays as

0.4663461539

Changing the number format, decimal places, scientific notation, etc. seems to have no effect on the displayed output.

Even if not using  evalf.

Is this the expected behavior in Maple 2026?

• Does Numeric Formatting only apply to certain types of expressions or math containers?
• Is there a known issue with formatting numerical output generated by evalf?
• Am I missing a setting that enables formatting of worksheet output?

I have attached a screenshot illustrating the problem.

Any help or clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I would like to calculate a definite integral in the attached file. Doing so numerically is straightforward. However, a symbolic approach initially fails due to three points of discontinuity in the integrand. Yet, these points can be remedied by taking limits. How can the domain in Maple be extended using these limits to achieve continuity across the entire domain?

I would like to solve a differential equation using a series expansion in the attached file for practice purposes. How can the number of terms in the series solution be adjusted? I couldn't find anything about this in the help text.
BTW:
The differential equation is exceptionally tricky for a symbolic solution ;-) .

If you teach with Maple, this one's for you.

You already know Maple as a place where students can explore, visualize, experiment, and work through problems in ways a static worksheet or textbook can't match. Maybe you've built worksheets, explorations, or activities you use year after year. What you haven't had, until now, is an easy way to assign that work directly to your class and see how students are actually engaging with it while they work.

That's what Maple Classroom is for.

In the age of AI, students can produce polished, correct-looking work more easily than ever. A right answer doesn't tell you much about how a student got there, where they got stuck, or whether they're actually building understanding. The goal with Maple Classroom is that now you can see how students are approaching a problem — not just what they submitted at the end.

Maple Classroom lets you create, assign, observe, and respond, without ever leaving Maple. You can create a class and enroll students with a class code, then assign activities for use in class or independently outside it.

Imagine doing a quick poll in class, or assigning a reasoning task as practice, and seeing all the different approaches students took to solve it — not just who got the right answer, but how they got there, where they got stuck, and what that tells you about where the class stands.

You can even define a rubric that tells the AI Assistant what to look for, and let it summarize how students approached an activity and where they landed.

Maple Classroom isn't an LMS or a grading system. And you don't need to rebuild your course materials to use it — it's an added layer on the Maple experience you already teach with, giving you visibility you didn't have before.

Maple Classroom is available now as a Technology Preview for Maple 2026. If you're teaching with Maple, give Maple Classroom a try with your students and let us know what you think — your feedback will help shape what it becomes.

Maple Classroom requires Maple 2026 and an active Elite Maintenance Program (EMP) subscription.

After starting Maple

I then tried simpler prompts like "Hello", simplify(x),...

For all prompts I get the same error message.
I am not a frequent AI user but this is the first time I see that.
Has anybody else experienced the same?

Can someone send me a prompt that should work?

(Model type was Simple.)

Update:

It seems that this error occurs, when a second instance of Maple 2026.1 is started and AI is consulted in this instance. 

In the attached file, I have solved an ordinary differential equation implicitly. The simplification that is obviously possible using "simplify" is not being performed. Furthermore, "implicitplot" is not working either. I would appreciate some advice.

I have an expression that is an infinite sum with coefficients that are generated recursively (I apologize for previously posting the wrong formula--I corrected it on Aug 28).  I've tried to evaluate it and similar expressions in Maple  but keep getting error messages.  Any suggestions?
