How to find the shortest distance between  two points on a cube with Maple? The related twodimensional problem was considered in MaplePrimes, but the thread  seems to be lost. Here are the results of the "shortest distance" search in MP. The results of "shortest distance between two points on a cube" googling do not encourage too.

What happened to all the Maple 5 applications at the maplesoft application center? 

Why just the other day I was looking at them.  Very dissappointed to see them "removed".  In particular a series of applications for mapping. 

The drop down option for Maple5 has dissappeared. 

Are they gone?  Can you put them back?

Since -1 = i^2 I thought that there could be some meaning behind "alternating" series that instead of beginning with (-1)^n begin with (a+b*i)^n, with real coefficients, for abs(a)<1 and abs(b)<1. I'm not sure but it seems that such series are absolutely convergent, because (a+b*i)^n -> 0+0I as n->infinity, hence the term utterly diminishing series instead of alternating series.

As an example,
Where sum((-1)^n*(n^(1/n)-1),n=1..infinity)= 0.187859642462067120248... ,

I just downloaded Maple 15 and am trying to install on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine.

About halfway through the installation, there is a step where you are either supposed to supply the path to a batch file that will supply the environment variables that will locate Microsoft Visual C compiler, or supply them later as an option. The instructions say that Maple has a default batch file that will do this, but when that option is chosen, nothing shows up in...

It still seems that the original post won't accept new replies, so I'm starting a new post.

I used to be able to view mapleprimes saved webpages (saved as type archive) offline.

Now I cannot.  All the data is in the file it just won't load the answers and comments part of the page offline?  Does mapleprimes have some script that doesn't run now for offline use?  That's terrible.  This means every page I have saved over the last 4 years is useless unless it loads the answers and comments.  Now they are saved in the file but...

How to find the limit
limit(int(abs(sin(f(x))), x = 0 .. T)/T, T = infinity) assuming T::positive;
with Maple in the cases: a) f:=x->x^2; b) f:=x->x*exp(x)?

PS. Or to establish its nonexistence.

Hi all,

To share a maple document, I found this Maple help.

To share worksheet content:
1. In Maple, open the worksheet that contains the content you want to share.
2. If you want to share a worksheet selection, select the text and objects in the worksheet. If you want to share an entire worksheet, you do not need to select any text or objects in the worksheet.
3. Expand the MapleCloud palette.
4. From the drop-down list in the palette, select...

On the topic of the quality of rendering of (2D) Math on websites, could that also be re-examined for both Mapleprimes and Maplesoft's on-line help system?

Right now the on-line help has pages with missing images in Examples. For example, the `int` and `sum` on-line help pages, here and here.

On that

Ive tried this for hours and can't get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to 

find a 10 significant figure approximation to the 10^th derivative of

evaluated at x = -2.

Ive tried using this maple command:

evalf(subs(x=-2,diff((sin((x^2...

Why do I get different results for these four command? BTW only Result #2 is correct.

> evalf((1/2)*sqrt(3.0), 5);
                            0.86605
> evalf((1/1)*sqrt(3.0*(1/4)), 5);
                            0.86603
> evalf((1/1)*sqrt(3/4), 5);
                            0.86605

> evalf((1/2)*sqrt(3), 5);
                            0.86605

I have read the answer to a similar question, 

Hi,

I have this dataset of 3d points. It looks like [[x, y, z], [[x, y, z] ... [x, y, z]]. The y values represent days and can occur multiple times.

I would like to plot a surface from the data. I can plot the curves representing each of the different day values. It looks like the one below (might not be the most elegant solution ;-)). I would like to connect the curves with a surface. I have already looked at listplot3d without luck.

Thank you.

Hi

I would like maple to provide the coefficients of the derivatives of a PDE. For example:

Given PDE: 2Uxx+6Uxy+3Ux+2U=0

 Provide the coefficients of: Uxx Uxy Uyy Ux Uy U

I would like to get something like: 2 6 0 3 0 2

I tried "dcoeff" and "collect", but they don't seem to work for me

Thanks!

Hello,

I want to randomly generate variables and numbers that look something along the lines of this:

(3x)(-2y²₎
(-3x²y⁴) (4x²)
(-b²y⁴) (2b²)
(-3x²y⁴) (4x²y⁴)
(4x)(5x²₎



Here's my code so far:

for k to 5 do

V := LinearAlgebra:-RandomVector(2, generator = rand(1 .. 9));

The maplecloud may in some respects reduce the sharing of applications on mapleprimes and at the maplesoft application center.  A maplecloud user may instead of sharing his application via mapleprimes applications or the maplesoft website may just make his worksheet publicly available over the cloud simply because it's easier to do. 

It is true that mapleprimes is a different type of serviece that allows the interaction of ideas/questions as well as the sharing...
